Foster Empathetic, Creative, and Independent Thinkers of the Future
Changing Kids Lives Through Theater
Every time we enter a theater, a classroom, or a community center, we have the opportunity to teach children empathy, celebrate inclusive, diverse communities, and model strong values.
With your help, we can nurture more young people to be empathetic, creative, and independent thinkers who make a positive impact on their world.

Your gift offers vulnerable children the tools to build and maintain strong, capable, and independent minds despite their situation.
