Gillen Brewer is excited to share our partnership with Chickenshed Theatre, the United Kingdom's renowned inclusive theater program which recently came to NYC. The Showcase Performance featured 10 Gillen Brewer students along with 120 other students across the city. They shared the stage for over an hour and put on a fantastic performance. View this clip about one family's experience! Read more about Chickenshed Theatre.
The theme for the 2018-2019 school year is DANCE! In September, each class will vote on their name for this year as part of the theme. Watch Ashley's class practice the Shuffle as they research different types of dance, and follow @gillenbrewer on Instagram to see more like this!
