THEATRE
PROGRAM

Performing in a musical is an experience that young people will remember for the rest of their lives!
Transformative Education
There are many benefits and responsibilities that go along with being in a musical.
ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
IN THE ARTS
Participating in the arts provides young people with a chance to explore their creativity and imagination in a structured and safe environment. Musical theater is specifically remarkable because it is the only art form that combines all areas of the fine arts: acting, singing, dancing, and visual arts.
IMPROVING
LITERACY SKILLS
From reading scripts to memorizing lines to learning to tell a story, young people continually improve their literacy skills while rehearsing and performing in a musical.
BECOMING
A CONFIDENT
PUBLIC SPEAKER
It takes a lot of guts to stand up and sing or dance in front of your family, peers, and what may seem like the entire community. Experience with public speaking at a young age gives students confidence that will be important to them for the rest of their lives.
