In this episode, Tim sits down with the Classen SAS Middle School theatre teacher, Brent Pederson. From a degree in theatre design to developing theatre arts programs to leading a middle school program, which includes drama, musical, and tech classes, all in a completely renovated historical auditorium, Brent has a passion for his students that is virtually insurmountable. His program is a little different than most youth theatre programs, and it prepares students for what it might be like if they pursue theatre beyond their academics. Come with us as we take a peek inside the world of college prep theatre in middle school.
