The Performing Arts project is designed to help youth learn to express themselves in front of a crowd either on-stage, backstage, as a puppeteer, or writing their own script. This is great for youth who enjoy being in the spotlight, like to be creative while performing on-stage, or enjoy setting up backstage.
There is 4-H curriculum that can be purchased for anyone interested in the Performing Arts project. Here is a breakdown of what young people can learn at different ages/stages:
