About the Project

Rumi, the 13th century Persian poet once wrote “When you do things from your soul, you feel a river running through you, a joy.” Performing arts is the vehicle with which we allow our souls to express themselves. Musical theater is a uniquely human experience where we are able to transcend the mundane with a musical note, a piece of art, a movement, a phrase or an emotion, and gain access to universal human experiences. The After School Drama Club will cultivate an appreciation of the arts, build confidence in children, promote public speaking, and allow students to feel more comfortable in themselves and their identities. As our school continues to grow our Dual Language Immersion Program, we hope to provide authentic bilingual plays where students can showcase their bilingualism and bi-literacy. We are beyond excited for our future thespians who will make the written word come alive in theatre.
