Event Details

Join Dare to Dream Theatre to Summon the Magic of STEAM with this 6-session program online!  Participants will explore STEAM topics such as potions (chemistry), Charms & Spells (creative writing), Transfiguration (Arts), and Muggle Studies (Engineering).  Weekly House Point Challenges will encourage participants to remain engaged between sessions as they explore key elements of literacy and drama by taking on roles in the narrative and solving a challenge together.   Participation is FREE to youth in grades 1-6, but registration is requested since space is limited.   Please register for each session individually to reserve that week's free Wizard Academy Supply Kit (sign-up for all 6 sessions is encouraged, but not required).
