Sample Programs Offered
Program Type: Arts Curriculum
Program Description:
A quick introduction to Theatre and Spanish, all students will learn basic Spanish vocabulary and theatre simultaneously. All the instruction will be in both languages, so students that speak English can understand and students that just speak Spanish can understand too.
This eight weeks workshop will end with a small presentation. The play will be bilingual, so the students must learn some of their lines in Spanish.
