Backdoor Theatre's Theatre School
What is Theatre School?
The mission of Backdoor's Theatre School is to provide students of all ages with the means to actively explore the beauty, diversity, complexity, and challenges of the world around them through the dramatic process. We strive for our students to develop their unique creative voice, their imagination, and their understanding of drama and its role in society. Theatre School classes are offered in the Fall and Spring. Each session is designed to give our students a rewarding experience while still targeting and meeting their needs physically, mentally, and creatively.
Backdoor Theatre's Youth Programs have one main goal - to provide a challenging theatrical education for ALL students in a safe and loving manner. We want all students to have a wonderful time learning how to harness the magic of theatre in a safe place.
