Help us open up a world of imagination to the youth of the Grand Valley.
STUDENT THEATRE OUTREACH PROGRAM
The first phase of the Outreach program gives students of all financial backgrounds the opportunity to enjoy theatre. This program consist of a small group of adult performers who travel to schools in the Grand Valley to perform a short 30-40 minute comedy for the entire school at no charge. No charge to the students, no charge to the schools, and no charge to the district. Just a fun, live performance brought straight to them.
This program is expected to grow to include middle schools, high schools, and Saturday theatre camps provided in areas where extracurricular activities may be financially out of reach for most families.
