Our show will enhance your Fine Arts curriculum!

It is well recognized that students who are involved in extra-curricular activities such as the arts are less likely to look to destructive behaviors like alcohol and drug abuse. Because of limited financial resources, arts programming in schools is not receiving the same priority it once enjoyed. Fewer and fewer students are aware of opportunities in the arts and most importantly do not benefit from the enrichment that a vibrant, creative arts program brings to their lives.

A HOJA performance encompasses many art forms, including music, drama, dance, comedy, and improvisation as well as other related skills such as public speaking, group dynamics, interpersonal relationships, and teamwork. It is important for students to have exposure to cultural events such as this, especially if your school is only able to offer limited arts programs. Students in rural areas may never have seen a live concert or drama performance before.

Not only will a HOJA presentation expose students to a highly entertaining performance, we will encourage them by example and through discussion to become more personally involved in the arts through school and community programs, private instruction, or simply singing and acting with friends as part of an expanded and enriched social life. Many students feel that only the most talented people should be involved in arts activities, or are too frightened to give it a try. HOJA encourages them to take a few risks, to get involved whether as a serious pursuit or simply as a fun leisure activity!
