DIAMOND HEAD THEATRE ANNOUNCES YEAR-ROUND PERFORMING ARTS
EDUCATION PROGRAM PLUS ENHANCED CURRICULUM

Honolulu, HI, September 8, 2006—-Diamond Head Theatre (DHT) will now offer a year-round performing arts education program, plus an enhanced curriculum for home-schooled children and special classes for autistic children.

" We are really pleased with our expanded curriculum and we felt with everyone’s overscheduled lives, it would be nice to be able to plan a year of classes” says Kelly Moulson, DHT's Director of Education. “Plus signing up for a full year saves 20%!” Accompanying the year-round curriculum is a new full education catalogue (available for the asking by mail or via our website at www.diamondheadtheatre.com.)

The home school program, started in 2002, has been an unqualified success, providing home-schoolers socialization opportunities in addition to classes is acting, singing and dancing. This year DHT has added more sessions and more choices.

Another special offering, by noted instructor and theatre director, Bill Ogilvie, is the class in Creative Drama, for children with high-function Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome. Ogilive has taught similar classes for several years at local high schools. Using theater exercises, games, skits, puppets, music improvisation and short plays, the classes allow these children to acquire the tools to learn how to express themselves, understand others and become better adjusted to the world at large.

The DHT performing arts program class start dates vary, with some beginning the week of September 11, 2006. Enrollment is currently open for all levels. For further information, see our website: wwwdiamondheadtheatre.com or call 733-0277x206.
