The mission of the Heather McGaughey programs continues to be building the love of theater and promoting self-confidence and teamwork skills in Farmington’s youth AND adults. The goal is to provide Farmington residents with basic theatre training and the opportunity to perform. Some of the key areas students can expect to focus on are The Actor's Process, Musical Theatre and Character Development, Theatrical Movement, Devised Theatre, and Scenic Design.
