ABCD Creative Drama Project

Stebens Children's Theatre is offering creative drama classes in area preschools during 2007-08. Washington Early Childhood Center, Madison Early Childhood Center, Tugs Preschool, Sugar Plum Preschool, Mason City Schools 4 year-old Preschool, Project Childcare, 15th St. Head Start and Garner Head Start have been chosen to participate in the program. Spending 8-16 weeks in each school, Sally Pressly, creative drama specialist from Stebens Children's Theatre, meets with each classroom once a week. The goal of the program is to reinforce kindergarten readiness skills through the use of creative drama activities. Using movement, pantomime, sensory awareness and story drama, Sally guides students through fun-filled activities that reinforce what they are learning in preschool.

This program is made possible through a grant awarded to Stebens Children's Theatre from the Cerro Gordo, Hancock and Worth County Empowerment Area.
