With many Christian schools and homeschool groups lacking the funding for a vigorous fine arts program, our founder, Dr. Nicky Chavers, knew that young people in these situations still needed to have their skills developed and their hearts and minds challenged through this powerful medium. So, in 1973, Dr. Chavers began something that he, as a talented actor and singer, never had the opportunity to participate in —Drama Seminars!
These week-long, action-packed, evangelistic drama weeks give Christian schools and homeschool groups a professional drama experience with an eternal focus. Yes, in just one week, elementary or high school students work together under our team’s guidance to set up, rehearse, and perform a full-scale production! With thought-provoking chapels, small groups and one-on-one discipleship, as well as professional training in technical, makeup, costuming, and directing, every student receives an incredible opportunity to grow in their craft while learning invaluable spiritual lessons they will take with them for the rest of their lives.

Congratulations to Barbara Powers for her 20th year coordinating #DramaSeminar! 🎉🎊
And thank you to the alumni and staff members who traveled to IN to celebrate the occasion!
We send teams every year to do one-week drama camps across the nation, but it is these local, faithful coordinators who take on the logistics, planning, and prep work to make a seminar happen smoothly.
Only eternity will tell the impact that our coordinators have had on the thousands of young people who attend seminars! We are incredibly grateful for all of the work that goes on behind the scenes to minister to each group!

Our #DramaSeminar Team 1 had their first week out on the road!
"It's been a fantastic first week of high school for us here in Knoxville! Our team is learning and growing exponentially, both physically in leading crews and spiritually in devos prep work.
Please pray for traveling mercies as we travel many miles this school year.
And please pray for health, especially these first few weeks, as that's often the first thing the Devil sends our way to stop us from doing our best. Pray that we will continually rest in Him for strength and joy, and by example teach the students to do so as well."
