Drama by George’s mission is to grow students with compassion and character through the power of stories. They are a Louisville-based theatre company that’s provides educational programs centered on social emotional learning (SEL) since 2007, impacting more than 88,000 students.
That’s part of the reason why George started Drama by George: He wanted to give today’s students the excitement of performing
onstage!
But there was a darker side to his childhood as well. From grade school through high school, he was a “weird” kid who sometimes struggled with social skills. That made him a
frequent target of bullies. There were days when his peers turned going to school into a miserable experience. That’s why Drama by George strives to teach not just theatre,
but character values as well. In Drama by George workshops and drama clubs, they equip students with social and emotional skills — things like self-confidence, creativity, self-discipline, and teamwork skills.
Their live performances address SEL (social emotional learning) in a focused way, empowering students for bullying prevention, resilience, and more. Drama by George believes the arts are a powerful way to start conversations with children and teens about important topics!
