“The arts require a person to create their own unique view of the world, and to appreciate the creation of others. 3Arts Foundation opens doors to Voice, Movement, Imagination, and Teamwork, leaving useful tools behind for both student and teacher.

" The foundation of theater study melds teamwork, creative problem solving, constructive criticism, empathy, history, math, music and literature, and prepares young people for careers we have yet to imagine. While some students may follow a dream to Broadway, all students of drama go into the world more rounded, compassionate members of the community."
