Recitals

Showcase

Each semester, Willard Arts Academy celebrates the creativity and growth of our students with a special Recital and Skills Showcase – an event that features a mix of performances and displays, from dance recitals and student sewing projects to technical theatre props and visual art galleries!

Participation is voluntary, but every showcase is an opportunity for students to share what they’ve learned, express their creativity, and take pride in their progress.

At Willard Arts, we believe that the heart of theatre — and art itself — is sharing. Our Recital and Skills Showcase gives students a space to do just that: to step forward with confidence, celebrate their hard work, and share their gifts with family, friends, and the community that supports them.
