Arts in Education
 
The Performing Arts Program continues to be our strongest outreach program, reaching well over 12,000 students each year with performances alone.  This program is co-sponsored with the Cleveland County Schools and brings to the county professional artists who are generally here for a two-day residency during which they perform in the schools.  These professional artists provide an opportunity for our young people to see and hear programs they might not otherwise be exposed to.  During the 2008-09 school year we coordinated 11 different programs.

What teenager can’t relate to a character so misunderstood by others that her cries of “I gotta be ME!” fall on deaf ears? This timeless comedy pits the “good” girls and boys against those individuals who would rather buck the system, in favor of findingtheir own true selves. Six actors, sixty minutes -
comic hijinks galore!
