<p>VERY IMPORTANT rECITAL NEWSLETTER Copeland Mills School of the Arts is a premier performing arts school that educates students in dance and music, AND in stage and performing arts etiquette. We hope you and your child enjoy your experience as we share theater arts, performance skills, and stage opportunities. Our shows are conducted professionally with a director, stage managers, audio and lighting technicians, stage backdrops, props, rehearsals, sound checks, special effects, costuming, photo shoots and more. We believe it is important for all of our students, children and adults be treated as star performers!
