Nurturing Talent Through Education
Learning, Performing, and Growing Together
At the Donald M. Gay Performing Arts Center, we believe in the power of the arts to inspire young minds and foster lifelong creativity. Through our educational programs, workshops, and student showcases, we provide opportunities for students to develop their skills, build confidence, and experience the joy of performance.
What We Offer
Engaging Programs for Every Young Artist
Edward Little High School offers abundant opportunities for students to explore the arts. From our extensive music program to our seasonal stage productions, students can perform, join school workshops, learn lighting and design backstage, or step into the spotlight themselves. The Donald M. Gay Performing Arts Center provides a professional environment where students gain hands-on experience both onstage and behind the scenes. We are excited to continue growing educational opportunities in our space and expanding how the arts connect with learning across our school community.
Workshops & Masterclasses
Interactive sessions led by experienced community leaders, helping students develop technical skills and explore new career fields (Coming soon).
Student Performances
The ELHS Performing Arts Association provides a dedicated platform for students to showcase their talent through concerts, recitals, plays, and collaborative productions.
Community Outreach
Programs designed to bring the arts into the community through partnerships, school initiatives, and special engagement events (Acadian Wind Ensemble, D2 MMEA Festivals, Odyssey of the Minds & Midcoast Symphony Orchestra).
