Explore as learners. Create as artists. Reflect as educators. Apply in your classroom.

Join us this June to develop new skills, investigate new approaches and connect deeply with the art of theatre and your own personal creativity. Workshops are designed to help educators find meaning and enjoyment in the arts that they can share with their students. No experience necessary. 

There is no cost to participate. All workshops will take place at the Music Center Annex in downtown Los Angeles and parking will be provided. All workshops are full. Register to join the waitlist.
