Stress, fear, trauma and anxiety is at an all-time high for many, as we try to juggle the responsibilities of life and a establish a new normal.

Well, the healing power of theatre is well documented. Dramatic arts can serve as a much-needed source of fun and creativity. It can also be used as an outlet to release the many emotions we may be feeling in this moment of uncertainty.

In light of the economic conditions many families and businesses have been faced with in the wake of the current global public health crisis, we’ve decided to offer classes online and at half price for the month June. Because our community of supporters and students will always be our top priority, we’re doing everything we can to continue making theatre accessible for all—because theatre still matters.
