The Green Lake Drama Dragons

 

Green Lake Elementary prides itself on working to create valuable multi-arts experiences for its students, and our after school drama program is in a league of its own. With the support of Molly Kerr Goldman and Merissa Goldstein (GoldKerr Productions), our students work hard for months to bring its community a full-scale theatrical experience, complete with beautiful sets, elaborate costumes, lighting and "special effects", and - of course - concessions. 

The performances are free of charge and everyone is welcome. We do ask for a small donation at the door, but only from those who are willing and able. It's not a fundraiser. It's an arts experience, and we hope you'll take part!

We view every one of our productions as a community event and want as many people as possible to get involved and have fun. I started directing this program years before I had a kid in the play and have continued to do it even after my kids left GLES. This is the same case for many other parents who love theater and want to be a part of something creative. There are many ways to support the play: sets, costumes, makeup, props, lighting, music, baking, cleaning, sewing, shopping, watching!

 

If you have any questions we have not covered here, please let us know. (goldkerrproductions@gmail.com)  Thanks again for all your support and for wanting to be a part of this.
