Why teach drama to children and teenagers?

Drama instruction, specifically, builds confidence and teaches social and public speaking skills in a variety of ways. Teaching creativity to children and teenagers will enhance their chances of developing strong critical and problem solving skills. These skills will better enable them to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world.

Whether the students are looking to pursue theatre as a career, a hobby or a one-time experience, our classes will help them move forward: the skills learned in PTS drama classes and camps can be applied throughout all walks of life.
