Mission Statement

"When kids take the stage, or are seen doing so by their classmates, life itself is being evoked, rendered, turned into an occasion for heightened awareness.  In no time we are able to think of others, put ourselves in their shoes...when kids take the stage we are all taken somewhere important..."                                                                                              - Dr. Robert Coles, Child Psychiatrist and Author

"Education in literature, history and appreciation of the arts opens the possibility for us to live more reflectively and knowledgeably, especially about the nature  and variety of human experience.  That in turn increases our capacity for understanding others better, so that we can treat them with respect and sympathy, however different their outlook on life."                                                                                                                    - A.C. Grayling, Professor and Journalist
