Access is always required. Students of all abilities deserve to experience and create theatre with their peers, and should be provided with the necessary accommodations to do so.
There is no one right way to do theatre. Students will learn about theatre that comes from diverse perspectives and cultures, and accept that there are a variety of valuable theatre making methods and approaches.
Try new things, make mistakes, and learn. This is critical to student growth and the creation of the phenomenal art that young people are capable of.
Theatre should be fun. Students to have fun and feel confident when they are doing theatre.
