Why theatre?
As the art form that incorporates several different disciplines (visual art, music, film, architecture, dance, writing, ect.), theatre is the perfect laboratory for students to explore their creativity, gain confidence, and build the teamwork, public speaking and communication skills that they will use for the rest of their lives.
​
Legal Status
We are currently going through the process to become a 501c(3) nonprofit.
