IMAGINATION TAKES FLIGHT! CONFIDENCE SOARS!
Our classes provide young people with a foundation of vital skills to help them succeed in school and throughout their lives. Our classes provide them with several fundamental abilities, including self-esteem, confidence, creative thinking, acting, and public speaking, as well as leadership and teamwork skills. Whether your child has an active interest in performing or simply wants to make new friends and explore the development of essential life skills attributes, Mockingbird is a perfect choice.
"We must all do theatre to find out who we are and to discover who we could become."
-Augusto Boal
