Starting Arts – After School Productions
Guadalupe has a new partnership with Starting Arts (SA.) Each year we will be bringing in SA to do three productions after-school. These productions will rehearse and perform after school, under the supervision of SA staff who are background checked and regularly check in with the school. Below are the shows slated for the current school year. If you have questions, please email Anna Craig <[email protected]>.
