Transforming Lives Through Theatre Education

We work to make both the artistic and the real-life benefits of theatre training accessible to all. The Theatre Lab enrolls over 2,800 adults, teens, and children a year. Offerings are designed for beginners and veteran actors alike through a wide range of programs—Saturday acting classes, summer camps for kids, public speaking for non-theatre professionals, the rigorous Honors Acting Conservatory, the community-driven Life Stories® program, and our workforce development program, the Arts Institute for Creative Advancement.
