That is a question asked regularly by the Arts Education Partnership (AEP), a national coalition of arts, education, business, philanthropic and government organizations that demonstrate and promote the essential role of the arts in the learning and development of every child and in the improvement of America's schools.

It’s now a statistically known fact that kids who participate in the arts:

  • do better in school.
  • score higher in their SAT’s and develop critical thinking skills necessary for navigating our rapidly changing world.

Research studies point to strong relationships between learning in the arts and fundamental cognitive skills and capacities used to master other core subjects, including reading, writing, and mathematics.

Centenary Stage Company is committed to providing quality performing arts education to the youth of the Skylands region and is ready to meet the artistic challenge for young people in NW New Jersey with their two summer camp programs: TYRO I / II Acting Program (as well as the Young Performers Workshop Summer Intensive Program). CSC is accepting registration for the TYRO Theatre Summer Program, a theatre workshop for young thespians ages 6 - 11, which will be held July 6 – July 17, 2009 and runs Monday – Friday between the hours of 9:30 am – 12:00 noon for 6 -8 year olds or 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm for 9 – 11 year olds.

Using structured theatre activities which focus on expression, confidence building and fun, young thespians will learn acting games and demonstrate improvisations inspired by fairy tales and folk tales. The TYRO Summer Theatre Program will be led by CSC Education Director Maria Brodeur, an actress and arts educator with experience in children’s theatre. Brodeur holds a BA in Theatre & Education from Rutgers University, and studied Meisner Acting Technique in NYC. The cost of the two-week session is $200 and registration is limited.
