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.
Not only will the costume department dress each cast for the seven weeks of summer camp (three high school and four elementary), but also create doubles of each set for our two #DramaSeminar teams.
#Ventureof1620 performed its last week this past Friday, and now it's time to ready the show for the road!
Look forward to our elementary performances happening within the next four weeks!

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!

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.
