The Class Acts Program provides two enriching field trip experiences and a series of summer theater camps that offer students opportunities for creative expression outside the traditional classroom. The field trips include live performances where children learn theater etiquette and enjoy a show. BAM!Fest—an interactive, outdoor arts festival featuring Books, Art, and Music. BAM!Fest offers Pre-K to 12th-grade students various activities, including book giveaways, hands-on art projects, musical instruction, acting workshops, painting, improv, dancing, singing, costume making, and safety lessons. The program also provides transportation scholarships to ensure accessibility for all students.
"Given the current gap in arts education in schools, it's essential that we unite to ensure that every child in our community has access to the arts," said Amy Miller, President of Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts. "Exposure to the performing arts offers many benefits, including improved academic performance, mental health, and overall well-being along with higher graduation rates."
