ABOUT
This year marks 20 years of empowering and celebrating young artists, nurturing creativity and fostering lasting friendships through our plays, classes, residencies, and camps in an environment of care, equity, challenge, and joy. Whether it's their first time on stage or their 100th, we ensure everyone has a place to belong and the support they need to thrive. That's why we offer unconditional scholarships to families who share our belief in the transformative power of making and seeing live theater.
Actors and students learn empathy, listening skills, public speaking, critical thinking, and collaboration—strengths that enhance their academic and personal growth, and will also prepare them to make a difference in any field they choose to enter.
