Theatre Program for Home School Students

Hello, everyone. I wanted to point you in the direction of a new program my dad, Donald Cleland, is creating. I should have posted this a couple weeks ago. He has created a theatre program for home school children. Actually, a better description is he’s extending his program that he established over 20 years ago. Back in 1986 he created a summer theatre camp for kids on summer break. The program is called Ya! Theatre (Young Actors Theatre), and to this day it continually sells out every summer. A brief description in his own words:

“In Ya! children will discover and nurture their creative and performing talents. They’ll find a place where they will be treated with respect, patience and dignity.  It’s also a place where their imaginations can run wild amidst laughter and fun.”

Don has dedicated his life to sharing his passion for building character in our youth, and has used his love of drama as a vehicle to do so. Being an elementary and middle school drama teacher for over 30 years he is the perfect person to teach a program like this, and he has garnered respect from the education and art communities in Hillsboro and Forest Grove, Oregon. If you have children in the Washington County area I suggest you check out his website (www.yatheatreclass.com) for more info. He has programs for home school students beginning in later September, so I suggest you hurry.

My wife, Rayna, re-created the branding/logo for Don’s program, and I whipped up this site in WordPress. Enjoy!
