Round of Applause is a school-partner low and no-cost educational musical theater program that inspires students and families in and around our North and Central Long Beach communities with creative expression as they face disruptive life challenges of financial hardship, family trauma, and educational marginalization.

Our productions will promote social values, moral integrity and reflect the cultural diversity of our international city through casting and themes. The Main Stage Season will offer shows relevant in theme to the lives of elementary age students and their families. Our After School Theatre Programs will give students the opportunity to explore drama, dance, music, and art through the development of a musical at their school site. We also envision a meaningful collaboration with the Long Beach Public Libraries offering Reader’s Theatre bringing children into contact with classic literature as well as new works in a lively and engaging improvisational experience. It is our goal to contribute to the growing body of theatre for youth with the commission and development of new plays that are engaging, enriching, and educational. We will serve a metropolitan area rich in culture by producing arts and education for a diverse population, our theatre will be a dynamic asset to the community. We are determined to bring theatre to families from every socio-economic and cultural background to create strong memories that will last with them a lifetime.
