Theater Arts Education

"Theater allows you to blend Music, Dance, Art, Literacy, and even STEM into a cohesive educational and fun activity. TheaterWorksUSA is one organization that I've worked with that is able to do this seamlessly and keep the kids engaged."

"What I appreciated most about the class is how the teacher taught the kids how to craft a story and make it more interesting in a fun engaging way..."

"The teacher was so patient and supportive as she walked the kids step-by-step through the process of creating a story..."

At TheaterWorksUSA, we believe that access to the arts and theater education is vital for our youth and an integral part of a healthy, vibrant community.

In addition to our touring theater productions, we bring arts education classes to the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and the Southern California region.

For all of our school and community partners, we offer full-service arts education programming that comes with fully developed theater curriculum, trained TWUSA teaching artists, and all the class supplies needed for each session. Our programs can be booked for in-school residencies, after-school programs, single-day workshops, and summer camps in Southern California.

Please get in touch with us to customize and book a TWUSA Arts Education program or workshop for your school or community.
