At Actors Theatre, our education mission is to provide innovative and meaningful programs to students of all ages, nurturing the creative spirit, the inquisitive mind and a life-long appreciation for the arts. Whether you’re looking for a performance, workshop or classroom residency, Actors Theatre has a program to fit both Kentucky/Indiana Education Standards and the needs of your students.

Last year over 15,000 area students participated in our education programs. These programs are designed to help students make sense of and communicate ideas of drama/theatre as well as reinforce other school curriculum. Recent studies have shown direct correlation between arts education and gains in reading, self-concept, motivation and empathy for others.

At Actors, we believe in educating the whole child, understanding that the future of our world is dependent upon creative, insightful and compassionate human beings. We look forward to meeting you and your students.
