what we’re about

Meeting new theatre people and always learning and growing.

We love New York! (of course)

Dreaming big and then putting our heads down to ‘get it done.’

Celebrating wins with 80’s music (and the obligatory spontaneous dance party).

Our splurge of a coffee maker. Worth every penny.

Going ‘behind the stage’ to see theatre in the making.

Building this community of incredible (creative, optimistic, kind) people!

“Remember that you aren’t teaching kids theatre, not really. You are teaching them to be better humans through emotional vulnerability, listening, and collaboration.”

— Curtis Barber, Theatre Director & Teacher, TX
