Theatre, the imagined and enacted world of human beings, is one of the primary ways children learn about life—about actions and consequences, about customs and beliefs, about others and themselves. They learn through their social pretend play and from hours of viewing television and film. In other words, children arrive at school with rudimentary skills as playwrights, actors, designers, directors, and audience members; theatre education should build on this solid foundation. With an emphasis on the national standards, the Clark County School District Theatre Program strives to provide students with exciting opportunities to develop their abilities to express their understanding of their immediate world and broaden their knowledge of other cultures.
