STORYSTAGE - prek 4-5
Welcome to the BACKSTAGE PAGE for our STORYSTAGE families. Theater is a shared experience, often between actor and audience member, where one relies on the other for theater to happen. Our Kidstock! class is a shared experience between our Educational Artists and our students, but we also believe that our Kidstock! class is a shared experience between you and your child! We hope this page includes you in the creative and imaginative theater play we explore each week!

CURRICULUM
STORYSTAGE focuses on storytelling through imaginative play. Students explore settings, characters, and basic stage skills through actively participating in creative theater games and bringing the storybook of the day to life onstage. By playing with the story from different points of view and playing characters in groups, students learn empathy and are able to perform in a fully supported and accessible environment.
We read the storybooks interactively, engaging the students’ imagination of what could happen next and encouraging them to share their ideas therefore we encourage parents not to introduce the book at home until after we have read it in class.
This session our stories focus on accepting differences.
