Theatre education programs that help our kids shine.

Summer Camp 2025

“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.
