We believe in the transformative power of the arts to improve lives and provide a sense of community. We are dedicated to making the world a happier place for underserved communities, including those facing mental health challenges. Our team of expert teachers and artists work tirelessly to deliver quality programming, including theatre, dance, music, and more, to inspire and uplift our students.

​​

​Our staff and volunteers work many hours planning music and arts programs, developing social services resources, developing special community fundraising events, holding workshops, and general operations. ​​Collaboration and partnerships are the foundation of our projects. Without the knowledge, resources, capabilities, and manpower that partnerships can bring, we would be unable to accomplish the depth and number of programs we have developed. Likewise, without our excellence in planning and management skills, our ability to build and nurture community partnerships would not be a reality. ​

​

We are proud to offer a wide variety of programming for individuals with diverse needs to discover a sense of creativity and purpose through performing arts.
