With support from the CAC, Sacramento Theatre Company will provide a ELA and VAPA standard based, free, after school theatre program to students at Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. Elementary & William Land Elementary (WLE) culminating in a production in the spring at MLK Jr. Elementary as well as a fall & spring production at WLE. Teaching artists will collaborate with faculty/administration to choose culturally responsive material that is inclusive of a diverse student body.
STC annually produces professional theatre productions, including world premiers, new works, musicals, reading list classics, Shakespeare plays and a Cabaret series. We produce five to seven productions from the Youth series starring students from our School of the Arts. We are the only professional theatre to provide educational programming to Sacramento area youth both in school, after school and conservatory training. We offer a year long Young Professional Conservatory, ages 12-18, Pre Professional ages 6-13, seasonal theatre camps, a school partnership program in 14 schools resulting in fully mounted productions aligned with Common Core and VAPA standards, an Educators night and a school outreach program for nearly 15,000 students to attend our productions on subsidized tickets. Our goal is to reach into communities with little to no theatre arts contact with the purpose of engaging students, opening doors to creative outlets, fostering greater emotional awareness and building community. We proudly offer community partnership opportunities for local non profits whose mission resonates with one of our productions. We are home to hundreds of volunteers whose families have been a part of our legacy for decades. Our students often return later in life to share STC with their children.
