Handful Players offers free, inclusive year-round performing arts enrichment programs of sufficient frequency for youth from under-resourced communities at multiple sites of community partner organizations and public schools in San Francisco. Programs include: 1) creative workshops to expose and engage youth with a spectrum of artistic disciplines (acting, dance, song, puppetry, rap, clowning, spoken word, costume, set design) taught by experienced, diverse teaching artists, reflecting the demographics of the students; 2) original plays written by celebrated playwrights in collaboration with students, school principals and community partners with themes linked to learning and social justice issues and the community’s rich cultural history; 3) enriching performances by students at school and community venues; and 4) a distinctive opportunity for students and their families to attend professional theater, some for the first time, exposing them to richly diverse culture that would be inaccessible otherwise.
