Performing Arts at OMS

The Orono School District is one of only a few districts across the state to offer a theatre program to middle school students. Research has shown that the study and practice of theatre improves literacy skills, aides in the development of one's ability to express oneself, helps strengthen one's ability to empathize and strengthens self-esteem. The Orono Middle School is pleased to offer its students this program.

"...The arts must be accepted as a basic civilized necessity, available

to every child in the country as a natural function of the art of living,

not as an occasional social adornment." --Isaac Stern
