Mission Statement
To provide children and teens with special needs, a unique, creative drama experience enabling personal growth while breaking down stereotypes related to disabilities within the community at large. Ultimate Goal Our ultimate goal is to create specific opportunities for children and teens, with and without special needs, to work together. Mainstreaming is encouraged whenever students have developed the appropriate social and artistic skills necessary to succeed. Based on this premise, SGT’s goals include developing creative abilities, building friendships and providing disability awareness by breaking down stereotypes about disabilities.
Description
Brief Overview of Programs
Musical Theatre Program: A 25 week program run during the school year, which culminates in a fully mounted musical theatre production, complete with sets, costumes and props for ages 10-21.
Creative Drama Program: Designed for children with special needs that are 7-9 years old, this program introduces children to exploring and understanding the structure of dramatic stories by using their body, voice, mind and imagination and focuses on social skills and pragmatic language.
