With support from the California Arts Council, Poison Apple Productions will expand and enhance our Apple Academy Educational Theatre Program, a graduated series of performance-based classes for youth and young adults from ages 2-24. This grant would help maintain the high quality of the programs and shows produced, hire quality Teaching Artists, provide scholarships for underprivileged youth, and support program internships.
We provide:
Affordable, challenging, performing arts educational classes and performance experiences;
Original theater productions written and directed by young people;
Creative volunteer opportunities for young people on stage, or behind the scenes;
Scholarships for participants who cannot afford to participate otherwise;
Fun-filled family entertainment;
An increased appreciation of performing arts in our local community;
A clean creative space for our young artists to feel safe and function productively.
