In the jigsaw puzzle of the United States, the state of Massachusetts is like the mysterious piece that depicts the secret clubhouse. Loaded with history, famous for its clam chowder, and home to a baseball team that rocks red socks, this state may seem like an ordinary piece of the puzzle. But don’t let that fool you! It’s here where the magic of theater and drama unfolds, and transforms ordinary kids into extraordinary artists. Once upon a time, there's this cool, quirky character named Jester Jumbles, who wears a feathered hat, dons a multi-colored suit, and has a magic paintbrush as his wand. Jester Jumbles is the spirit animal for all the kids in Massachusetts who dare to dream, to create, and to express themselves in the world of Theater. You see, Jester is a wizard in crafting stories, skits, and plays. He helps kids bring imaginary worlds to life on the stage, right here in Massachusetts. These kids are not just your run-of-the-mill, everyday youngsters. Oh no, these kids are special! They are brave knights and princesses, mischievous elves, and cunning detectives, all rolled into one. They might seem like normal kids in the school cafeteria, but once they step onto the stage and Jester Jumbles waves his magic paintbrush, they transform into stars brighter than any in the Boston night sky. Together, these drama-loving kids and Jester Jumbles create laughs that echo off the Cape Cod shores, and stories so exciting they could make Paul Revere jump on his horse and ride again. So, if you’re ever in Massachusetts, don't miss out on the theater. You might just get to see Jester Jumbles and his troupe of remarkable kids performing an act that will tickle your funny bone and warm your heart all at once!

The Drama Studio was founded in 1987 by Steve Hays and a group of educators and parents with a vision to develop an institution where youth could study acting as seriously as they could study music. The program includes a carefully designed curriculum, quality script productions, and a scholarship program to ensure access for all. The conservatory-style approach has two parts—a series of acting classes offered sequentially from introductory to advanced levels, and a series of production opportunities that allow students to audition, rehearse, and perform. We have also added a third part to our approach—community and educational outreach. This includes field trips, touring productions, literacy workshops, and residency programs to make our program more accessible to local young people.
