We forget sometimes that the theatre can do for young people
what we know that sports can also provide. Teamwork, collaboration,
empowerment, time-management skills, preparation and discipline are all
life-skills being developed through this program and will serve these young
people very well in whatever career they end up choosing for themselves.
We have taken our time to figure out how best to serve the
young people in our region, and after a year off to study how to be most
impactful, we are excited for this year’s performance and the structure of the
entire SYC program which includes Theatre Quest for younger students, and a
rehearsal and performance component for the older students. We have combined
this with a technical production unit, so that we are serving multiple groups
in targeted ways.
The SYC is as important a part of PlayMakers work as
anything else we do and I can’t wait to see the results of all of their hard
work.
See you at the theatre!
