Kid's TheatreKids Theatre
Drama has the ability to bring us to a place of astonishing beauty—a place
within ourselves. Our Kids' Theatre Program provides children with the
opportunity for self-exploration through improvisations, theatre games, scene
studies and short skits, which come alive through the expressive sharing of
ideas. New born characters come alive under the guiding hand of director Sally
Lombardo, while laughs and camaraderie fall into place. Everyone's creative
opinion and input is highly valued! As the classes progress, mini-plays are
rehearsed, then performed for family and friends at the end of each semester.
The goal of the Program is to provide a voice for each student and tools that
can be used for a lifetime. Ease in social situations, confidence and poise are just
as important off of the stage as they are on. The highly desirable ability to work
as a team and to feel that one's voice deserves to be heard, help to make our
classes meaningful.
