Drama Kids February Newsletter

Are you getting excited for our Spring Performance? We'll be developing teamwork as we begin preparations for the end of the year!

Feb. 2020

Dear Parents:

Drama Kids is the largest international after-school drama program.  Our curriculum is devoted to an extensive developmental drama experience designed to teach a wide-variety of drama activities, which will increase your child's confidence and oral communication skills. The end of the year aims to amalgamate many of the drama and life skills taught during the year, into a Spring Performance on Saturday, May 16th (for all locations EXCEPT Baker Elementary) and Sunday, May 17th (for Baker Elementary students only). To be part of an original Drama Kids one-act play is a very rewarding, exciting time for the children!

Our dynamic program works to:
   •   DEVELOP ONGOING CONFIDENCE
   •   BUILD SELF-ESTEEM
   •   EMPOWER CHILDREN VERBALLY
   •   ENCOURAGE ATTENTIVE LISTENING

We are privileged to be part of the development of such important life-long character building skills in your child and thank you for the opportunity to do so.

We look forward to starting Spring Rehearsals soon!

Sincerely,
Melissa

Our end-of-the-year Spring Performances provide students with opportunity to showcase everything they have learned and worked hard on this year in Drama Kids class! Spring Performance rehearsals will begin the week of February 24th. It is required that students attend all classes going forward from this week. It is of the upmost importance that students are in class, working as a team to continue building speech and communications skills as well as to learn their one-act plays.

Speaking of which...we bet you're dying to know more about what our Drama Kids will be performing in May! Here's a sneak peek of the one-act plays that will be performed by Lower Primary, Upper Primary, and Acting Academy classes:
