Artbarn provides a warm and creative after-school program where children and youth of all backgrounds can make friends, experience a creative process, and learn skills that they can use for the rest of their lives.Students at every age level are active participants in all aspects of the production experience. They perform on-stage acting, singing and dancing, and also work behind-the-scenes on script ideas, writing, scenery, costume design and publicity. High school internships allow older students to earn community service hours while they gain valuable job experience teaching theater arts. Student interns provide wonderful role models and mentors for the younger children.Artbarn's mission is to support students working together in the performing arts and foster creativity, self-esteem and social confidence.
