A Message to Parents From Artistic Director, Dru Rabin
Parenting a creative child can be more challenging than you expect—I know because I have two daughters in the performing arts. As they gain independence, they also learn to handle emotions like criticism and rejection. You’re not alone.
Students this age are eager to express themselves but often struggle with confidence and group communication. Our expert-led program nurtures their talents in acting, singing, and dance while building leadership skills. With trusted coaches—the kind I’d trust with my own daughters—we support families like yours every step of the way.
