At DLC, students receive the training and guidance needed to develop self-confidence, self-expression, and a love for the arts. At Drama Learning Center, our goal is to provide our students with the guidance and training needed to gain self-confidence, self-expression, a sense of commitment, and a love for the arts. DLC offers a variety of programs that appeal to people of different ages and inter

ests. Young children are introduced to the performing arts in our preschool and beginning acting classes. Children and youth in elementary, middle, and high school learn and improve their drama skills as they participate in musical and dramatic productions. Older youth and adults who are ready to make a larger commitment have the opportunity to participate in our audition-only productions. The DLC facility includes a 120-seat theatre, a separate rehearsal room, a box office, and multiple dressing rooms in the backstage area. The fully-equipped theatre includes stage lighting and sound systems. Storage areas house an extensive inventory of costumes, props, and set pieces.
