2015-16 Theater Outreach Partnership
During the 2015-16 school year, students at the Wells Community Boys & Girls Club met once a week for a 16-week series of interactive workshops to receive an introduction to the basics of theater. In each one-hour workshop, students were given the opportunity to actively engage in learning fundamental acting skills. These workshops culminated in a performance at Creative Art’s annual Spring Gala, in addition to a performance at the Boys & Girls Club for their families and friends.
