Benefits of Attending Performance Theatre
  • Theatre exposes young people to new vocabulary and ways of communicating
  • Through the arts of dance, acting, and music, children learn how to communicate in a variety of unique ways
  • Theatre is a safe way to expose kids to difficult situations and show them firsthand how to handle these situations
  • Through theatre, audiences are immersed in stories about characters from every background imaginable
  • Live shows teach children how to appreciate people of all kinds and how to respect other points of view.
  • When arts education is part of the school day, students experience greater school engagement, fewer disciplinary infractions, enhanced social-emotional development, and stronger academic achievement in writing.

“Arts education allows children to connect their experiences to stories on stage and participate in activities designed to engage their imagination, critical thinking and socio-emotional intelligence. It is vital for young students to see themselves represented in stories and on stage to inspire their confidence, voice and place in the world.” – Allison Watrous, Executive Director of DCPA Education & Community Engagement
