Theatre Arts Guild                                Sr. Marie Andre, advisor

Our Theatre Arts Guild recently performed Oliver.  Students from both the Academy and St. Joseph School were involved. Pictures appear below.

According to dramaed.net, students involved with drama benefit greatly:

• Drama develops skills such as concentration, imagination, cooperation/collaboration, and listening. These skills are essential in other school subjects and generally improve academic performance.

• The benefits of drama education (such as self-confidence, empathy, and communication skills) are invaluable in the work place and in everyday interactions with people.

• There is ample and persuasive research evidence that students exposed to theatre arts training perform better in school, have more consistent attendance, demonstrate more empathetic behavior towards others, and have greater self-esteem.
