Our Mission

Many families throughout Los Angeles county come from a low socioeconomic backgrounds. Most are not able to provide their children with programs and entertainment that will further their enrichment in the arts. With the support of elementary schools, we provide students with quality theatre productions that will encourage them to get invested in the arts. Our program focuses on building a dialogue between the teacher and student about the arts. The Actors Project's productions are not only geared toward the young audience but extend to adults as well. Our creative writers develop stories that engage both the imaginations of the young and old alike. With humor that transends any age range, everyone becomes engaged in our plays. We strive to create productions that build lasting impressions that will not only enlighten students to pursue further study in the theatrical arts but also show them a new form of entertainment. 

Many theatre company's charge schools for their performances. Currently, especially in our current tough economy and budget cuts, many schools are not able to afford to bring cultural enriching activities to their schools. The Actors Project is proud to say that our school productions are FREE! Every student deserves to experience quality live theatre.
