devlogosThe Devonshire theatre program includes the Devonshire Theatre Arts Academy as well as Thin Ice Ensemble Homeschool Theatre classes.

These programs are loosely based on conservatory-style theatre education presented in many leading dramatic institutions. The programs contain wonderful elements of acting and musical theatre and a comprehensive curriculum. All students will also learn cooperation and social interaction skills, discover self-confidence and creativity within themselves –– all while having fun and making friends.
