Theatre
Our theatre artists offer interactive workshops, performances, and presentations for schools and organizations. Through participation and discussion, audiences learn about different elements of theatre, while learning how to apply the lessons and skills to their own lives and activities.
Theatre artists are available to teach workshops in everything from basic acting and improvisation to set design and lighting. Each year, the theatre department also programs a series of plays and offers interactive performances addressing various social issues.
