Disney Musicals in Schools Student Share Celebration
Tuesday, April 15
DREYFOOS HALL
The Kravis Center is proud to continue this educational initiative in affiliation with Disney Theatrical Group called Disney
Musicals in Schools. The main goal of the initiative is to create sustainable musical theater programs in under-resourced
public elementary schools by providing schools with the training and tools necessary to do so, and by creating a space
for the community to share their students’ success. Up to four schools will receive a 17-week musical theater residency
that culminates in a 30-minute Disney KIDS Musical at each school. Working with professional teaching artists, a team of
faculty from the school will build skills necessary to produce a musical theater performance featuring students in grades 3-5.
Through this process, students develop self-confidence, practice collaboration, and strengthen speaking and reading skills
while learning musical theater techniques.
