"Theatre education is human education," says Klarer, "The skills and experiences that develop through this work are invaluable. Theatre is a gateway to confidence, critical thinking, ensemble building, vocal & physical expression, social-emotional learning, and it's also a fun way to spend a couple of hours."

Through TAP's Theatre Education Program, TAP is able to bring theatre experience to the community - regardless of age, means, or ability - through participatory classes, discussions, assembly-length shows, internships, and partnerships with civic organizations.
