Our Philosophy
Theatre Arts Training is a process-based program dedicated to providing professional theatre experiences and education to build curious, creative and confident young artists and people. We are more interested in what happens along the journey, from the first day to the last, than in a polished product. With this focus on the education experience, our classes take place in classrooms, not on stages.
All students are welcome to participate in all classes (with the exception of audition-based programs). We acknowledge and support that engagement and success looks different for each student, and our faculty prioritizes keeping their teaching style, activities, and goals flexible to the needs of our students.
We strive to supply students with source material from diverse perspectives representing communities from a multitude of ethnic and racial backgrounds, economic statuses, abilities, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
Statement of Inclusion
As part of CTC’s commitment to access and inclusion, at Theatre Arts Training we make intentional choices in our classroom practices to make sure we are a welcoming space for people of all abilities, ethnicities, economic statuses, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Our program includes need-based scholarships, all-gender restrooms, introductions with personal pronouns, and a faculty happy to work with families to meet students’ individual physical, learning, and social needs. If there are ways we can be more welcoming to your family, please let us know at education@childrenstheatre.org.
