For tickets, contact Kerry Brockman at mbrockmann@msn.com or 425.772.1421 As public education funding for extra-curricular activities, especially the arts, continues to wane, and theatre and music programs across the state are drastically reduced, the Madrona Children’s Theatre in Edmonds School District continues to make aspiring actors’ dreams come true. National studies have shown a connection between student participation in drama and academic success, which is no surprise to Madrona Principal Lynda Fischer. “Every student who auditions is given a role,” explains Madrona Principal Lynda Fischer, “our program helps kids develop confidence, communication skills, and leadership.” Over the years, more than 1400 students have gone through the program, with some going on to success in regional theatre groups, television and film. About Madrona Children’s Theatre: The Madrona Children’s Theatre is a 501c3 organization within Madrona Elementary School. What makes the MCT program unique from typical school-based programs is it operates similarly to a professional theatre company, with producers, and an advisory committee, who hire a creative team (Director, Music Director and Choreographer) The multi-age productions are open to all Madrona K-8 students in 4th – 8th grades, including students in the District’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) program. Every student who auditions receives a role, hence, the shows are double-cast, with each cast performing three of the production’s six shows-run. This also allows half the shows to feature ASL interpretation, as well as actors (hearing and non-hearing alike) who sign their lines.
