CULTURAL ARTS

The Drama Program offers an opportunity to delve into the creative process to transform a blank space into full fledged theatre production, complete with story, costumes, set, lights, sound and music. The inspiration of each production as unique as the youth that create it.

The drama programs offer girls in grades K-12 the critical thinking skills to assess the potential impact of the media stereotypes on their lives, while providing career skills and opportunities to express their ideas and talents. The drama groups perform their own scripts at the end of each seven week session.
