Storefront Theatre Initiative
Our Storefront Theatre shows focus on dynamic roles to showcase and challenge our acting students. Many of our students will encounter the storefront production model when they graduate. Creative teams are challenged to work with limited resources and shorter rehearsal periods, with an emphasis on the elements they can control: Writing, Acting, and Directing.
