Philosophy
The mission of
the Putnam Children’s Discovery Center Acting Program is to provide children
ages 4 - 15 with an exposure to theater in a non-competitive and fun
atmosphere at a nominal cost.
Besides our
goal of developing a child’s interest in theater, our drama workshops can
also spark creativity, provide opportunity for individual expression,
develop self-confidence, instill self-discipline, and introduce the practice
of group dynamics – meaningful concepts that can be taken with the child
into whatever discipline he or she eventually pursues.
Some of the
benefits of our acting program are:
-
Small class
sizes (average 7:1 student teacher ratio)
-
Frequency of
workshop offerings
-
Opportunities
for performing at the student’s discretion
-
Teaching facilities conducive to
learning and performing
- Instructors
with strong theater experience
