Arts Education

Our award-winning educational programs are designed for youth from a wide range of backgrounds, communities, and schools. We engage with youth to explore all aspects of making theatre: story and expression, connection with others, examination of self, and discovery of the world—all while having fun!

  • SummerBLAST 2023

    Our summer programs for grades 2-8 don't start with a chosen play — they begin with curiosity. Through SummerBLAST we will uncover the link between our own understanding of the world and the performances we create.
