Diversity in Excellence
Stage Directions: There’s big, there’s small. There’s the public art magnet school and there’s the Jewish parochial academy where all theatre-related classes and activities are done outside regular school hours. But all the schools honored here (nominated by our readers, chosen by SD staff) share an unabashed passion for theatre and a desire to turn that into a life-long love of the performing arts. Without any further ado, here are the six programs that are inspiring students to performing and technical excellence.

There are some really great and some really negative aspects about going to schools for performing and technical excellence. I agree with many of the points that are talked about in this article, such as how children are encouraged to take risks because they are in a safe environment. I also think that one of the best thing about schools aiming for excellence in this field is the work ethic and understanding of the multiple levels of a production that is learned. Sometimes, though, when funding becomes stressful, learning becomes less of the mission while having a successful production becomes more of the school's mission, and that is when the student's education can become altered.
