| Why
UPSTAGE is important for your kids: |
Today,
more than ever, theatre skills are vital for
a young person’s development. At Upstage
students learn how to speak more clearly, move
more easily, act more naturally and become self-aware.
|
|
Many
educational professionals believe that Theatre
Arts training can help to improve student’s
academic grades … |
FROM
THE CALIFORNIA ARTS COUNCIL…
“Arts education helps build academic skills,
increase academic performance, improve behavior,
reach kids who are at risk of dropping out of
school, improve self-esteem, and build the kind
of creative skills that are required of people
in the workforce of the new century.” |
FROM
NEWSDAY...
“High school students who take music lessons
and join theater groups do better in math, reading,
history, geography and citizenship, according
to a study of Education Department data to be
published today.”

What
some parents and students had to say...
|
| "In
the past four years, I've been to about five
different performing arts schools, and not
one has made me want to come back as soon
as I can!!! At Upstage, everyone becomes
a family, and I never felt uncomfortable around
anyone. Upstage has taught me a lot,
and given me fantastic memories!!!"
Victoria Van Fleet, 14 years old |
"My
son had a fantastic time at the upstage summer
camp...he has not stopped singing since and
has a new confidence in performing in front
of people."
Linda-Good Hart |
| "My
daughter, Rachel, has attended Upstage for
5 consecutive years. In addition to learning
the skills of acting, singing, and dancing,
Upstage has helped her gain self-confidence
and leadership skills. She has found the teachers
to be wonderfully supportive and knowledgeable."
