Inspiring

We believe in the transformative power of musical theatre. Whether a student decides to work in the arts or become a doctor, lawyer, engineer, or educator, we believe the creative and collaborative experiences they have through arts education can inspire confidence, innovation, and empathy.

Inclusive

We believe in celebrating the individuality of all people through rich artistic and social experiences. Musical Theatre-based arts education allows for all involved to share differing perspectives and build connections across communities, backgrounds, and abilities.
