1 Tonea Stewart Performing Arts Camps

2 Tonea Stewart Summer Educating Through Explosive Experiences The Tonea Stewart Performing Arts Programs are designed to introduce students to self-control, self-worth, self -affirmation and the creative process. Through the use of the arts, TAPS or Theatre Artist Performing School offers techniques in reading comprehension skills, and personal development. 3T, or Teaching Through Theatre, utilizes the arts as a vehicle to curtail the rising dropout rate, as well as to address college readiness. TTI, or Technical Theatre Initiative, uses the practical side of theatre to focus on technical career training and trade skills that qualify one for the world of work. GIFTED or Giving Individuals Freedom to Express Diversity, is a program specifically designed as an outlet for persons with disabilities. These programs offer classes in acting, singing, dancing, technical theatre, reading, modeling, creative writing, professionalism, public speaking, and oral interpretation. Letter from The Executive Director Dear Camp Supporters, Since 1992, I have witnessed the Tonea Stewart Summer Performing Arts Camps grow by leaps and bounds. Our mission is to inspire motivate, embrace and validate the unique talents of our children. The success stories of our participants are a testimony to the fact that were are accomplishing our goals. Each student is afforded the opportunity to experience life changing moments as a very capable and professional staff nurture their talents. By using the performing arts as a teaching tool, we are helping students realize the vision of who they can be if they simply embrace their dream. At the end of each camp, participants perform in an awesome and mind blowing play that changes not only their lives, but also those of the staff and audience members as well. During these difficult and challenging times, I find the arts, more than ever, necessary to provide an emotional and creative outlet for our society. Join us as we keep the Arts alive at Alabama State University. Sincerely, Dr. Tommie H. Stewart Executive Director
