George W. Nebinger Elementary School

Since 2016, EgoPo teaching artists have been working with George W. Nebinger Elementary School students in year-long theater classes.  Once a week, the students explore the fundamentals of performance, including weekly workshops in acting, movement, and improvisation, as well as design, writing, and ensemble building.  Each school year culminates with a final public performance of plays created by the students.
