These courses help young theater students learn the benefits of how using their bodies and thorough study of theatrical movement help create stronger characters & performance in both stage plays and musicals.

Why: “I think one of the greatest things about Lincoln Park as a whole is its overall relationship with its student body. Students at the high school are extremely proactive in their pursuit for furthering their interests/education in their desired field. That, coupled with the ideals that the school fosters for creativity, help create an environment that births phenomenal artists & individuals who finish their way through the Charter School altogether. After watching the enthusiasm and efforts of students in my classes for the past few years, it truly is great to see the achieved goals, growth and professionalism within each respective graduating class going out into the world.”
