The Academy of Arts is excited to offer an incredible workshop opportunity for high school-aged young people for Answers in Genesis College Expo at The Ark Encounter.
Since 1973, The Academy of Arts has been working with young people from all over the country through its drama seminar program. The drama seminar program is a week-long intensive with elementary and high school students where the students perform a full-scale production at the end of one week. While there is not time for a full week, Answers in Genesis is allowing us to do a mini seminar at this year’s Answers in Genesis College Expo!
Attached is a packet which includes information on how your student can be involved in these upcoming sessions! We hope you will join us for this exciting experience of performing a portion of The Pilgrim’s Progress on Saturday afternoon!
