At Harmony we believe fine arts programs are more imperative than ever given their ability to support the social and emotional health of students during this challenging time. It is important that we are able to offer quality arts education both virtually and in person. We have taken the time to review studies, guides and recommendations when designing our fall programming. We have set a series of safety parameters for the re-opening of Harmony Youth Theater. Please familiarize yourself with our new safety protocols so that we can continue to provide meaningful arts education experiences for our students. Please understand this is an ever-changing time and the Harmony board is dedicated to staying updated with the current recommendations.
