Drama and Drumming - West Pullman Park and Carver Park

The Drama and Drumming Ensemble is an after-school program that takes place at West Pullman Park and nearby Carver Park. Twice a week local teens gather to learn and practice storytelling and performance skills such as vocalization, articulation, singing, drumming and movement.

The Drama and Drumming Ensemble creates scenes centered on a specific community issue that directly affects teens. Participants present their short musical scenes as part of the citywide Teen Expo at South Shore Cultural Center and at West Pullman Park Cultural Center's yearly spring showcase.

This program provides a great opportunity for teens to gain performance skills and experience on-stage and in the field of community activism-excellent building blocks for young, civic-minded actors and actresses. The teens will learn the importance of social change by telling and hearing stories about themselves and their surrounding communities.
