Children 's Theatre : An Activity I Have Positive, First Hand Experience

George Theatre Arts in Education program features educational live performances for grades Pre-K to High School. These shows are dynamic, enriching, educational and so much fun for all ages! The live performances are performed by regional, national, and international professional touring companies, connecting the arts to the classroom curriculum.

All of the theatre kids are close. We are not ashamed of who we are and can have fun while getting what needs to be done, done. Everyone

Students are from primary school to high school across the Houston area. The Alley's Education and Community Engagement department (ECE) programs' mission, which is advocating the integration of art, training the next generation of drama artists, promote community communication. The Alley could make a partnership with Houston Children's Festival. The Alley orchestrate some fairy tales or small stage plays for children and perform at the festival. The Houston children's festival is a great opportunity to showcase and publicize the Alley's education programs. The Alley's value is to share and impart passion for theatre with audiences, patrons, and the diverse community, and integrate drama into education and community in Houston. This festival also would help the Alley achieve their value. Through the Houston Children's Festival, students have a platform to show off their performance and present what they have learned from the Alley's education program. It is also a good opportunity to use their strength and ability to help abused children find a safe

Being a member of theatre has caused me to grow as an individual in ways I am still beginning to understand. I believe theatre has molded me into a much more personable and tolerant person, and it has most definitely given me a high confidence level. Theatre has helped me develop my sense of self, as I’ve become highly aware of how I am perceived by others.

Before my senior year of high school, I was a very shy, closed-off individual. However, my last year I wanted to change that. The primary way I sought to do this was through participating in high school theater. If I was given $10,000 and 30 days, I, Jacob Smith, would put forth these resources towards the improvement of Roxana High School’s drama department.

drama is so good for young children: it teaches them not only how to speak clearly, loudly and with confidence, but many other communication skills as well. For example, at Perform we have developed games that focus on simple yet important lessons like looking someone in the eye when you talk to them and maintaining that eye contact. Clear diction is encouraged through tongue twisters and raps and voices are nurtured through our singing and vocal warm up exercises.

"The stage is a magic circle where only the most real things happen, a neutral territory outside the jurisdiction of Fate where stars may be crossed with impunity. A truer and more real place does not exist in all the universe." (P.S. Baber (Cassie Draws the Universe) This quote hits it on the spot for me what theater is, hence with how the play The Monster Who Ate my Peas played out to be brilliant acted and well done play. The things that did well, I thought was the business, the way the actor’s movement just flowed and was not awkward, and the way they interacted with the audience. Yeah, it was a children’s play, but it was very well done. Now, as we proceed I will hit on how the actors performed, the good and bad and the challenges that they had to face.

Theatre for me has now become something I absolutely love. Being a part of this group has allowed me to find who I am. Theatre is truly a passion of mine whether I’m on stage or with a headset on calling the show backstage. If someone had told me four years ago that my experiences in theatre would shape the person I am today I would have laughed hard. It’s what I can finally call mine. No one can take that from

There is no theatre without an audience. The audience is as much a part of the playmaking experience as the artists—so how do we incorporate them more actively into what we do? We must work with them – and I’ve learned, in so doing,

I want to create a place where people feel accepted and included; where there is such a thing, I want to ensure that those ideals prevail, perseverate - in a healthy way, of course - within the community. When I first stepped into the world of theater, the community theater that I preformed with seemed loving, and though many were, being a much more soft-spoken fourth grader, without a lead role, without a familiar face, didn't exactly make me very many friends. As a freshman within my high school drama program, I found myself talking to, as well as befriending seniors - people with the leading role. I had never felt more welcome, nor seen my confidence shoot so high. At Stevenson, I will advocate for an environment where students feel encouraged,

After living for 16 years, trapped by the chains of Autism, I am especially proud that I have graduated from West Hills High School with a 3.9 cumulative GPA. During my scholastic tenure, I discovered the power of theatre, and with it my aptitude for performing. I was privileged to train alongside actors and entertain audiences at my city’s most prestigious youth theatre program: San Diego Junior Theatre. In addition to my primary passions of singing and acting, I also thoroughly enjoy working in mathematics and social science pursuits.

Theater serves a lot of functions in our society today. It is a way to bring the community together. It not only allows children to use there imaginations but adults as well. It also is an outlet for many people that enjoy it, to get a way for a little and relax and

They are allowed become apart of something that is far greater than joining the football team. These students can show and portray true emotions whether it may be comedic or tragic, the power of theater will impact their lives in a positive way. Although the task is very challenging, students who are willing to take the risk use their creative thinking to find different solutions to problems that may occur. Connecting with others is inevitable when being apart of the theater program. Group scenes allow actors to work and collaborate with each other to make the performance interesting and life like. Back stage crew workers communicate to each other about lighting, costumes, makeup, sets, and props for the production of the show, along with stage managers and assistants. Theater arts teachers explain the importance of communication and working together to become closer to each other, and to develop relationships of trust and

I sat in the theater classroom, watching as Ariana stood in front of the class, practicing her lines. They make us do ten minute practices in front of the class to try and get the emotions right.

Theater has taught me many skills and many new inventive ways to use them in the world I live in. Many may not know that theater is just one of those fields you can use not only on the stage but also in your personal life. There is so much philosophy and principles to think about when it comes to theater and you think to yourself, how I am supposed to use this in the world I live in today, and even in my career as an actor. Theater has taught me to take life by the hand and practice, going over the same thing over and over again may seem restless but in the world of theater it seems to keep developing you as an actor and makes you better and better. Theater has always been a source to relieve my stress and just a place for me to throw all
