WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE A THEATRE CLASS...
In 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act classified the arts, including Theatre, as core subjects. Researchers have found that sustained learning in Theatre correlates to greater success in math and reading, and students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds see the greatest benefits. Participation in Theatre education enables students to embrace the full range of the human experience and develop a myriad of skills directly applicable to a variety of future life opportunities.
Theatre can help students develop 21st century skills that are valuable in both college and career.
