SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS

The TI Educational Enrichment Workshop is one of several Educational Enrichment Programs sponsored by YOUR SCHOOL . We believe involvement in drama is about much more than learning to act. Theatre brings students of all interests and ages together and teaches teamwork in a cooperative environment. It stimulates creativity and exposes cast members to the richness of dramatic works from around the world. Registration is open to students of all experience levels.

The goal of Troupe Imaginarium is to encourage teamwork, develop public speaking skills, and to build confidence while nurturing a love for and appreciation of the theatre. Our cast members will support one another as they explore voice, movement, character development, public speaking, and life on the stage. Cast members will learn terminology, technique, and will experience the energy of expression through exercises and the presentation of intercultural folk tales, original scripts, and best-loved Broadway hits.

Though production of Troupe Imaginarium is funded in part by registration fees, it is produced by an all volunteer crew. Our director and founder Beverly Hill van Joolen is a film and theatre critic, amateur playwright and novelist, and mother of four. She also has a variety of performance experience behind her, directs both adult and children's theatre, and enjoys sharing her love of theatre . Parent involvement is one of the truly unique aspects of Troupe Imaginarium. This is definitely not a drop off/pick up activity. Registration requires parents to sign-on as crew members which makes for a real partnership opportunity. Assistant director TBA Stage manager TBA

Our remaining principle crew and general crew members are also parents of cast members. Some have extensive training and experience, others have none. Each one, however, has the energy and commitment to be a partner in his/her children's theatrical experience. In addition to the parents and school staff, several local businesses have contributed to Troupe Imaginarium's success. We are grateful for the generous support of our sponsors and our parent crew members. We appreciate the time and talents they share and we look forward to the semester.
