Your gifts helps us fulfill our mission to train students to develop the intellectual, ethical and practical skills for a creative future. Through our production work and our classroom curriculum we strive to develop core values in each of our students.   

Our core values are:

• Discovery: we foster exploration of courage, compassion and connection in a safe atmosphere through relevant projects and productions.
  

• Collaboration: we value integrative programming that promotes teamwork, problem solving, diverse perspectives and professionalism.

• Skills: we teach students effective presence through verbal, physical and imaginative expression to convey ideas in compelling performances and presentations.

• Mentorship: students receive personal guidance provided by faculty, staff and artistic associates. An emphasis on small class size enhances students’ potential for rapid development.

• Future Opportunities: from theory to practice, our network of professional associates and alumni help students enter the world through auditions and interviews for internships, apprenticeships, graduate studies and many other careers.
