2. Mission
To engage and
captivate students
through after school
arts programs in
theater and dance
incorporating
costume and scenic
design.
Students dance, act, read, write, and
create visual art while collaborating
with each other-having fun all the
while.

3. Curriculum
Introduction
Culturally diverse
instruction must be
grounded in academics
such as History, other
Social Sciences,
Literature, and
Language Arts, which
act as the prism
through which life
experiences may be
understood.

Introduction
Classes are divided into
one hour blocks after
school two-four times a
week. Students get to
live their creations
through internalizing,
adapting, and
visualizing and thus
make them their own.
