Special Gifts Theatre

Musical Theatre ProgramTheatre skills have shown to be an excellent tool for enhancing an individual's self-esteem and self-confidence; problem-solving abilities; listening, focusing, attention and communication skills; and for fostering cooperation with others. The Musical Theatre Program is unique in that the emphasis is not on the perfection of the final performance, but rather the student's personal growth and development. It is a process and not a product-oriented program. Though recreational in scope, it is educationally and therapeutically based.

These professionals design and adapt the classroom activities and the final production to meet the individual needs of each student
