Drama and Theatrical Support are Great Venues to Educate Students
in a Holistic Manner.
Volumes have been written of its Virtues.
Springfield's Drama Support Team is called "Back Stage Pass".
Besides Preparing the Stage Set, Producing Props and Assisting with Costumes, We do additional activities like helping set up for the Springfield Fair and Prom. 
This past Christmas "Back Stage Pass"  Lead the Way for a School Wide
collection of donations for two very worthy charities.

"5 'simple' Skits"  took untold hours of preparation from teachers, actors and prop makers.  When those who participated view these slides or recall their experience they will undoubtedly remember it in a way that is more impacting than general academic study.  The ability to recall ones experience over time enables a type of reflection and introspection that can be of benefit for decades.
