Angelo Civic Theatre is committed to commuity outreach through education. We believe art education opens the minds of young people and increases self awareness, problem solving skills and creative thinking that will assit in all areas of life as they grow up and become leaders of our community and the world. American's For the Arts brought a national campaign titled, "Feed Your Kids the Arts" recently. In their campaign research, they state: The arts are enriched with the stuff kids need to succeed. Just like kids need to have good nutrition on a daily basis, kids need to have their daily serving of the arts. Studies have shown that involvement in the arts helps kids increase test scores and promotes academic achievement. Kids who are involved in the arts are: - 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
- 3 times more likely to be elected to class office within their schools
- 4 times more likely to participate in a math and science fair
- 3 times more likely to win an award for school attendance
If you would like to invite our youth director to your school campus, organization or home school group, please contact Elena Kent. Mrs. Kent can come to your location and speak about theatre performing, a career in the arts and instruct the group in fun games that inspire creativity! To bring your group to the theatre, please see our field trip page for more details.
