AmericaEd Arts & Performing Arts Program
[Musical Theater] [Classical Piano] [Art Appreciation] [Chinese Performing Arts] [Chinese Art]

We believe in the power of performing arts in teaching children valuable social skills. To stage a show, each participant must master the ability to work within a team. A live show is made possible when everyone involved works in harmony. Director, writer, composer, stage manager, art director, costume designer, props manager, actors, musicians, singers and many more...

As AmericaEd Performing Arts Program, it is our goal to spark a light in each young mind for a passion they might embrace later in life... There are so many different roles one can take in a production that there is a job to do for everyone; shy or outgoing, acting talent or not, artistic or not so artistic, can sing, can dance or cannot do any of those but can organize a great clutter... there is something to do for everyone... that is why a show is the ultimate team work. In all our productions we yearn to achieve this and try to give everyone a responsibility they can handle with joy.

As you glance through our pictures, you will see that the entire staff, teachers and students were involved in every stage of the production. We are very proud of the team effort and role modeling they all displayed.
