Description – Everyone has something special to bring to the stage! In this fun and supportive theatre class, participants will work  with Dandylyon Drama teaching artists to discover, develop, and celebrate their own unique talents.

Sing a song, tell some jokes, perform a dance, learn a magic trick, show off a special skill, or try something completely new!

Along the way, we’ll play theatre games, practice performance skills, build confidence, and work together to create The Friendship Adventures Variety Show! Each participant will have the opportunity to choose how they want to shine, while also cheering on and collaborating with their fellow performers.

At the end of the session, friends and family are invited to join us for a one-of-a-kind variety show celebrating the creativity, talents, and personalities of our amazing cast!

student Stories

Miss Maddie and Mr. Matty are wonderful and we love how adept they are at teaching all the kids. They bring out the best in all the kids.”

“You have a beautiful way of handling the entire class and make everyone feel valued and included.  I appreciate how you have a visual schedule, and how you go over the ‘rules’, at the beginning of each class.  I love listening in on how you encourage each and every student.  The way you help those that want to read a part, but maybe can’t do it so well in real-time.  The way you give the shy student time to respond, allowing for the stage fright, or maybe just technical zoom issues. You my dear, are amazing!”
