The well known Preschool Experience and Enrichment Academy (463 Main Street) will partner with two local artists, Ann Marie Mullen and Beth Lucas, to offer dramatic arts classes for children ages 6-16 years, starting this fall.
"The Kids Theater Experience will introduce the joy of theatrical arts and creative expression in an age-appropriate, intimate, and encouraging way" said program director Ann Marie Mullen. "Our philosophy is to incorporate fun, creativity and essential social skills for the older child through expression in theatrical arts. We hope to provide a positive and fun outlet for children."

We asked Ann Marie and Beth how they came to develop their program, Ann Marie explained:
"Lisa Merseles, director of the Preschool Experience for over 13 years, has cultivated an outstanding reputation in preschool education throughout
Several years back, Beth and I were discussing our pre-children careers and how we might incorporate our professional experience with our lives as parents. We understand the importance of skills such as public speaking, problem solving and leadership, working cooperatively, and self confidence and know how to cultivate them through a fun learning outlet in theatrical arts. With Beth, a NJ-certified music teacher and I, a professional working actress, we knew our training was a great blend."
