Heartwood Regional Theater Company

Adults will understand their place as role models to the youth who participate in Heartwood programs. All adult-to-child interactions will be undertaken with the understanding that Heartwood will be a safe, healthy environment in which youngsters can grow in their talents and in their self perceptions. Heartwood theater is a substance free environment. Student participants will be mentored and encouraged to excel with the understanding that academics and personal health take precedence over performance. In the interest of family and personal health, one day per week is scheduled as a dark day for the theater. No organized performances, rehearsals or other formal business will be undertaken. Exceptions to this principle include matinees during performance runs and occasional emergencies.
