Winter 2021

Theatre Academy

SOTA is implementing a blended teaching model for these uncertain times. Classes will meet weekly in person at Village Church of Gurnee and also have an online option for families who prefer to participate remotely. Students and staff will wear masks and social distance during in person classes and temperature checks will be done prior to entrance. In the event that Illinois state requirements insist on a change during the run of our session, we will continue classes remotely until it is again safe to meet in person.
