MAPA’s Voices program teaches literacy skills through drama to over 3,500 elementary school students on Maui each school year. Through multi-week residencies, students improve their reading comprehension skills while learning the foundations of drama. Professional teaching artists collaborate with the classroom teachers so that each drama lesson is directly linked to classroom curricula.
