Since 1999, Greenleaf Performing Arts Academy has been “the place to grow.” Director Evi Wheeler’s original vision was “to serve students with excellent training in music, dance, and theatre, while providing a family-friendly environment and holistic Christian perspective on the arts,” an idea that has blossomed over the years, has created a rich community, and has been an abundant blessing to hundreds of families. 

One of Greenleaf’s treasured art forms is theatre. Why do we love theatre? Aside from scientific benefits, our families have found that theatre has encouraged their personal growth in community, empathy, and faith.

We recently surveyed Greenleaf students, asking how they’ve been impacted by their experience in theatre at our school. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be posting some of these results. Stay tuned!
