why theatre?
"The arts must be at the heart of every child's learning experience if they are to have a chance to dream and to create, to have beliefs, to carry a sense of identity."
- James D. Wolfensohn, former chairman of the Kennedy Center


Theatre arts create a wonderful outlet for children to develop a positive self image and important life skills. They allow children to explore their imaginations and their relationships to others while having a lot of fun!

Character Kids uses many different types of exercises, games, activities and training techniques in order to create great characters onstage. But, more importantly, we want to cultivate great character offstage, too!
