MUSICAL THEATRE
Give your child the performing arts training, focus and outlet that he or she needs!
Involvement in the arts challenge and develop all children, and training through performing arts develops much needed self-control, confidence, and discipline. High standards and quality training motivates students to reach for their performance goals. They will gain important theatrical and performance skills, as well as experience developing character traits and life skills along the way. They will develop pride in their accomplishments, at the same time having been taught humility by encouraging and supporting one another. Self-confidence builds as they present themselves in the theatre or on the stage of life. Preparation and responsibility are learned from the start to the end of a project, while they learn to focus, listen, watch and think!
