Philosophy
Theatre is a crucial element in the development of young minds. It allows students to experiment and challenge themselves in an environment that is not readily available in their core academic classes. The programs we are offering are designed to be an outlet to meet people, to making friends, and finding successes. We aim to create a non-threatening, inviting atmosphere that reduces student inhibitions and peer tensions in which students will always feel welcome. Students will be encouraged to engage in all of the learning opportunities, take appropriate risks and to focus on developing their personal performance skills. Stage Academy’s goal is to work toward fostering an appreciation of theatre as a means to build self confidence and success in public speaking situations. The majority of students will not become professional actors. However, the program will lead them to recognize drama as a viable art form that offers a wide variety of transferable skills. Life is our constant stage.
