About HAT

HAT is one of the many ways HHE families can connect through shared experiences. Students have the opportunity to participate in a theatrical production while learning valuable skills in communication, teamwork, memorization, creativity, and stage presence.

Whether a student loves being in the spotlight or prefers contributing behind the scenes, HAT provides opportunities to be part of something creative and memorable.

HAT may also welcome students outside of HHE membership, providing an opportunity for homeschool students throughout the surrounding community to participate in theater.

Open to All Homeschool Families

HAT is not limited to HHE members. Any homeschool family may participate in Heritage Acting Troupe by paying the applicable HAT participation fee. Non-HHE families are welcome to join productions, build friendships, and be part of the HAT experience.
