Students are able to express themselves appropriately in a fun, cooperative atmosphere. Actors produce and perform a short skit for parents and friends showcasing the core skills of the program.

Theatre Arts is a fulfilled way for students of all abilities to learn and grow together without the pressure and demands of a "big production".
