Mission

We use the arts as a medium to inspire creativity, unlock potential, and transform the lives of students of all ages.

About

After School - Provides daily programming that uses theatre and art-based curricula to explore social issues, build self-esteem, and enrich students' academic experience in the school system. Students explore diversity through mask and puppet making, act out folktales in world theatre classes, write original performances and create parades in order to learn how to think creatively, work as a team and believe in themselves.
