Education-led

Learning is at the heart of everything we do: learning about ourselves, each other, our craft. Every class and performance is an opportunity to be engaged in personal growth. More practically, we also offer enriching opportunities to students and pre-professionals throughout our season, as they hone their technical, management, performance, and front of house skills. It takes a village to run a theatre, and ours is hungry to learn.

Human-first performing arts education

Strengthening awareness, confidence, and empathy turns people into better better humans and better performers. That’s why we obsessively nurture these traits with every student and in every class. Our classes are taught by professional actors and experienced practitioners who are 100% on board that we go farther together, and that there’s room for everyone.

Staunton’s professional theatre-next-door

Our warehouse-turned-blackbox is a magical, malleable, and intimate space where we produce small-scale theatrical works and play readings. Our five-show season spans performances by professionals living as artists in our community, to committed high school students exploring their creative voices. We hope you come early and stay late, lingering at the bar over meaningful conversations.
