School of the Arts
S.O.T.A.
S.O.T.A. is an after-school theater program for students aged 12-18. We meet every Wednesday and Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and offer various camps and workshops throughout the year. Our program is designed for students with a passion for theater arts and vocal performance, whether they are beginners or experienced.
At S.O.T.A., our focus is on high-quality theater education, including stage movement, voice, character development, and script interpretation.
Our ultimate goal is to provide our students with an exceptional artistic education that not only enhances their theatrical skills but also equips them with practical life skills that can be applied outside of the stage.
At S. O.T.A., we value every child's distinct God-given gifts and abilities. Our classes aim to educate and guide students while demonstrating God's love for them; helping them become pillars for others. Although our focus is on producing outstanding shows with our students, our ultimate goal is to see them blossom into the individuals God intended them to be. At The Seeing Place, we strive to equip our students with the tools to see themselves, God, and others with clarity. We achieve this through music, theater, friendships, and mentorship.
Coming to The Seeing Place This Spring!
This dramatization captures the charm and excitement of L.M. Montgomery's enduring classic about an orphan girl, Anne Shirley, from her first encounter with her austere guardian to her thrilling graduation from Queen's Academy. The play faithfully recreates the memorable events and characters from the brilliant novel. All the tragedies and triumphs that mark Anne's growth from adolescence to early adulthood are here: her friendship with Diana, her feuds with Gilbert, her adoration of Matthew, the mistaken wine bottle, the cake disaster, the broken leg, the scholastic achievements, and the saving of Green Gables.
Whether the playgoer is an "old friend" of Anne's or meeting her for the first time, this play will solidify a lasting friendship between the audience and one of literature's most unforgettable characters.
WHEN: Friday and Saturday, May 31 & June 1 at 7 pm.

SUMMER on STAGE presents . . .
One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical! Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins delighted Broadway audiences for over 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren't the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."
WHEN: Friday and Saturday, July 26 and 27 at 7:00 pm.
WHERE: The Seeing Place (Formerly Legacy Theater Company). 315 Winchester Road, Jacksonville, NC 28540
