We Develop Kids Through Drama!

Just a side note to you and your staff and program…..Novalie had to present a colonial trade to her class for her colonial days celebration. Her teacher said she blew the competition out of the park! Novalie was the only student to present without reading her essay or using note cards! She just talked! She used the most visual aids/props too. These are all new skills Novalie has learned and feels comfortable with, thanks to Drama Kids! She’s a new woman! Thank you for all your hard work and thanks to Danielle! You guys are great!

Just wanted to pass along something Autumn said to me yesterday. It was her Kindergarten graduation and they did a little performance and then walked across the stage to pick up their diplomas. I videotaped Autumn as she entered the auditorium and walked up on stage. Later in the evening, I was watching the video with Autumn and she said…”I was a little nervous but then I just thought about Drama Kids, and how I had performed in front of a lot of people before, and then I wasn’t nervous anymore.” I was so proud of her, and so glad that she attended Drama Kids this year. Look forward to next year.

You are the best! In all the excitement of the great performances, I forgot to affirm your absolutely indisputable conclusion that Drama Kids shapes one’s character and forms their ability to communicate and command attention ‘while speaking! Carina just finished a big deal Law Day, and the compliments she received on her opening argument and the way she carried herself, I told EVERYONE it is because of the work she did with drama. Actually, I told Lorrie Anne just last night she can see what Drama Kids can do, and to put her little Charlie in a class – will keep working that one!! You give them your all and it shows, thank you!!!

My kids look forward to Drama Kids each week.  I actually don’t have to make them get ready for yet another activity.  My 5 year old has really improved on her speaking skills in public; she is not as shy as she used to be.  My 8 year old loves being able to attend a class with her sister at the same time and loves re-enacting what they do in class at home.  I appreciate that Drama Kids isn’t primarily production based and gives each of the kids chances to participate.  Moreover, the life skills such as public speaking and improvisation are wonderful for their confidence.  My kids are all smiles coming out of class each week!
