With support from the California Arts Council, CHANCE THEATER will offer two summer sessions, free-of-charge to all students, of our six-week summer workshop series “Teens Speak Up” and “Spectrum Speak Up” providing a safe and nurturing environment for teens to express themselves through creative writing, story-telling and theater arts.
Our production season presents socially-conscious, provocative, intimate theater experiences for a diverse audience. Our post-show audience engagement program hosts discussions after every performance. Furthering our goal to provide audiences with access to the creative process, our OTR “On the Radar” new works development series consists of 3-4 readings and 1-2 workshops per year. Designed to foster the educational and emotional growth of young people, our Theater for Young Audience (TYA) series have adult actors performing work geared towards young people. With our Veterans Initiative, we continue our outreach to vets by giving them a voice through storytelling workshops. Finally, our education programs are designed to reinforce the truth that theater is a place for expression and connection.
