Getting ready to bring the arts to students!

Our McMurry Theatre Education majors spent some time training and preparing for their Arts After School classes. We’re excited to have their creativity, talent, and enthusiasm as part of our teaching artist team this year!

We can’t wait to see what they create with their students!
