Panther Weekly

March is Theatre In Our Schools month, a time when we celebrate and raise awareness of the power of #TheatreInOurSchools to develop well-rounded, empathetic, and thoughtful leaders. It a time when thousands of students, educators, and supporters join in grassroots campaigns that highlight how participation in school theatre programs helps students develop critical skills that will benefit them in their future careers regardless of whether they pursue arts after graduation. Exciting news is that last year our very own Gov. Kemp signed a proclamation declaring Georgia support and recognition of the importance of Arts Education.
