YOUR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT IS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY
We cover a wide range of subjects and activities, but what we do is ultimately not about facts or figures, it's not about winning or losing, it's not even about singing or dancing or acting. Chrysalis is ultimately about YOU, about your story.
We do strive to create incredible works of art, but we recognize that even the best Broadway-caliber shows are fleeting and will soon be forgotten. The value of you, your spirit, your potential, your story, is far greater than even the highest-quality show.
Here at Chrysalis, we help you develop personally as an individual. Our activities are designed to help you blossom and thrive and overcome obstacles, designed to help you discover your gifts, your passions, your purpose. We certainly feed your brain, but we also nurture your soul, your spirit, your imagination, your physical abilities, your social skills, and so much more!
We help you to develop fully and completely

WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL
Most theatre programs prioritize their performances. Specifically, achieving the highest quality performances possible so as to sell tickets and bring in donations. Everything revolves around this goal. If that means allowing 200 kids to be in a show, even though 90% of them will only be on stage for a couple minutes and will not receive any individual training, than that's exactly what they are going to to do.
At Chrysalis, we value you and your story too much to sacrifice your long-term future for our short-term gain. We care too much about you to waste time in your most vital development years just so we can look good for a couple hours in front of an audience. Your story is too valuable to mortgage it just so we can sell a few more tickets or bring in a few more donations. No amount of money or applause is worth that.
We are committed to bringing out the best in every individual student.

THE COST OF NEGLECTING YOUR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
If we create the greatest theatre performances ever but don't succeed in bringing out the best in you, can we really call that a success? Achieving greatness on the artistic stage is wonderful, but it is a small thing compared to success on the stage that matters the most. If you become the greatest theatre performer on the planet but are a horrible person, or are miserable, than what have you really achieved? There are countless people who have achieved the pinnacle of success in their careers, only to find that their awards and fame and wealth are ultimately worthless. As great as they are, these prized achievements can't give lasting happiness.
We help you to develop both artistically and personally.

LEARNING THAT IS FUN AND ENGAGING!
The way that we teach is participatory and interactive, utilizing the natural abilities you already possess to help you unlock your inner potential.
We do this using games and activities, designed to maintain and develop the early childhood curiosity and passion and imagination, the natural love of learning and healthy human connection. Our students are often so busy having fun and connecting with each other that they don't even necessarily realize they're learning incredibly important life skills!
Here's a few of the many things a typical Chrysalis experience does:
Our methods are have been influenced and inspired by the works of successful educators and teaching artists like Ron Clark, Erin Gruwell, Viola Spolin, and Liz Stimson, as well as years and years of our own experiences as performers, students, summer camp counselors, Sunday School teachers, and theatre educators.

- It gets people interacting with each other face-to-face, working together towards a common goal, developing healthy chemistry.
- It breaks down walls between people, and establishes common ground.
- It helps people to not get stuck in their heads out of fear of making a mistake or looking foolish.
- It helps to break down walls of nervousness and fear, replacing them instead with your natural authentic instincts.
- It gets your brain engaged, naturally pushing you to think about what you're doing instead of what's happening on your phone. It feeds the creative impulses in the brain.
