ACADEMY CHILDREN'S THEATER SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES!

Hello Friend of AAA/Valued Community Partner,


The Academy for Academics and Arts Middle School is proud to present our 2023-2024 season! These productions feature approximately 90 middle school students as cast members and technical crew. Did you know that AAA is the only school in the state of Alabama recognized as a Premier Community for Theatre Education? The Educational Theatre Association (EdTA) recognizes individual schools that demonstrate outstanding achievement in their efforts to provide theatre access and education to all students. As a Title 1 Magnet School, we are fortunate to be able to provide this inclusive quality theatre experience to these students and the community! Our students are thriving both academically and in the arts because of supporters like you! We are asking for your support as a sponsor/contributor. No amount is too great or small. Will you help?
