Theatre education programs that help our kids shine.

Fall classes for ages 3-18

“Several studies show communication skills are the most essential skills for navigating American adult life… The ability to manage personal emotions and to recognize them in others — also known as emotional intelligence — is a predictor of academic and professional success.

These skills are often taught through Social Emotional Learning programs, offered in K-12 schools in 27 states, but they are also a by-product of theater class, according to a recent study from George Mason University and the Commonwealth Theatre Center. The study follows children aged 5 to 18 over six years… and finds increases in communication skills across age, gender and race.
