Fun

Drama therapy brings people together through fun, engaging, and embodied activities, which can include role-play games and improvised scenes.

Creative

Drama Therapy uses play, roles, story, creativity, metaphor, empathy, and improvisation to help people address social challenges, understand feelings, expand one’s sense of self, and practice life situations.

Group

Drama Therapy is for everyone! You do not have to be “good” at acting to benefit from drama therapy.

 

This group will utilize drama games, improvisation, and drama therapy to foster social interaction and build self-esteem.

Each week will be built around a uniquely themed experience with discussion.
