The YONOLA Afterschool Program will be offered at no cost to families in our 7th ward community and is co-taught by two professional student artists. The program is structured to promote academic/interpersonal skill building and encourage artistic exploration.

Southern Rep Theatre identifies and trains Student Artist-Teachers, who receive ongoing professional development during their fellowship to ensure best practices for the program.
All YoNola participants will receive an afterschool snack, homework help and a structured multidisciplinary arts lesson at our theatre space on Bayou Road.

Working with Southern Rep Theatre Artist-Teachers over a number of weeks, students will experience lessons in music, poetry, visual art, dance, chorus, theatre – and much more! Arts lessons are often interdisciplinary, support learning across subjects and can be tailored to individual participants’ interests and goals.
