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.
This past week, we had the privilege of doing a mini #DramaSeminar with several attendees from Ark Encounter's Homeschool Experience!
What does a mini Seminar look like? We took a few scenes from #KingdomsDawn, rehearsed over the course of 3 days, and performed Saturday evening! We are so proud of our team members, volunteers, and the high schoolers who made this new venture possible!

Thanking the Lord for safe travels for BOTH of our #DramaSeminar teams this year!
Team Two ended in South Bend, IN, having a wonderful week doing an elementary and high school production.
The Lord has worked mightily throughout this school year in both teams, as we have seen many lives saved and rededicated to God. We are so thankful for how God has worked this year through The Tiny Train that Tried and Kingdom's Dawn, and we can't wait for the next year!
Our seminar calendar for next year is filling up quickly! Sign up for a seminar today: theacademyofarts.org/drama-seminars/

Founded in 1971, the Academy of Arts exists to train and inspire the next generation of servant leaders to properly use the universal gift of communication for others’ good and God’s glory.
