Through the partnership of Stage One and Music Theatre Louisville, DramaWorks classes encourage students of all ages to explore and practice the fundamentals – and the fun- of drama. Louisville Theatrical Association’s professional artists/educators provide active ways to encourage imaginative thinking, effective communication and positive collaboration. Students learn to dramatically use their voices, bodies, and imaginations to gain a better understanding of themselves and the world around them. Students gain self-confidence and poise in an atmosphere of fun and laughter.
