DISNEY MUSICALS IN SCHOOLS
Tuesday, April 23 at 6pm

The Kravis Center is proud to continue this education initiative in affiliation with Disney Theatrical Group called Disney Musicals in Schools. The main goal of the initiative is to create sustainable musical theater programs in under-resourced public elementary schools by providing schools with the training and tools necessary to do so, and by creating a space for the community to share their students’ success.  Up to four schools will receive a 17-week musical theater residency that culminates in a 30-minute Disney KIDS Musical at each school. Working with professional teaching artists, a team of faculty from the school will build skills necessary to produce a musical theater performance featuring students in grades 3-5. Through this process, students develop self-confidence, practice collaboration and strengthen speaking and reading skills while learning musical theater techniques. More information on Disney Musicals in Schools.
