Programs
Performances/Assemblies: Our performances introduce artforms and provide new and diverse cultural experiences to our audience of students and teachers. We value performance as a vital and powerful component of arts education.: while our stage is a school auditorium, the work is as important and impactful as an event at a performing arts venue. Our 99 performances provide the social connection and intellectual stimulation of seeing a play, concert, or dance performance as part of the school day. We strive to ensure that children value live performance as essential to a full life, cultivating the next generation of performing artists and supporters.
