Theater Arts offers participants a creative outlet and exposes them to inspirational stories that speak to common experiences partnering with The Old Globe and Playwright Projects. The Old Globe program examines Shakespearean and other theatrical characters through reading and performing monologues and utilize them as a stimulus for reflection. Participants will perform at least one published monologue-style piece, develop, write and edit at least one original personal narrative piece. The Playwright Project participants develop their own script for a play with the mission of improving literacy, communication, and creativity.
