Inspire creativity!

Theatre has the strongest impact during childhood. It’s a time when we can safely open up and be ourselves - and discover that “theatre is for me!”

Play together!

Theatre reminds us that we’re not alone. We can share creative experiences. Learn to take risks and connect in meaningful ways.

You can help

Help us meet our goal of reaching every child in the San Francisco Bay Area with theatre by the time they finish 5th grade.
