Throughout our history we have placed an emphasis on partnership development with various community and civic organizations. Whether teaching to theatre as an art discipline, or utilizing the drama processes to achieve therapeutic goals, our programs are designed to instill self-confidence through self-exploration and self-expression.
Our at risk programs have been successfully implemented in a variety of settings, including day treatment, developmentally/learning disabled, substance abuse treatment, and correction/detention facilities.
