AmeriCorps Teaching Artists Promote Collaboration with Turnaround Arts, CityYear, and PASA

Theatre artists know that you need a team to put on a show. This year, our AmeriCorps team is building bridges between school day classes, Providence After School Alliance, and the new Turnaround Arts project through our work on the school musicals - a first-time endeavor at Roger Williams and Del Sesto middle schools. CityArts AmeriCorps Teaching Artist, Antonia Lara, an industrial designer from Chile is working with classroom teachers, CityYear members, and the Providence After School Alliance   to help with Turnaround Arts' production of "The Lion King." Antonia and her students are creating masks, costumes, sets, and props for the school musical.
