New Buda theatre program open for enrollment

BUDA — After a year and a half of debating, Angela Burchfield and her husband knew that they needed to open an educational theatre in Buda to mitigate the lack of arts programs in schools.

Burchfield has been in theatre since she was two years old, she said, and made a career out of performing and eventually obtained a music therapy degree in 2002.

Her skills acquired from working with children with disabilities have transferred to the Burchfield Educational Theatre, which opened June 2 and offers all-inclusive opportunities for students ages kindergarten through high school in Buda and Hays County.
