Since 1976,
we have never turned away a student.
Your support, at any level, ensures that we can provide world-class theatre training, a creative environment, and high-quality production value to our students.
Learn more about our Individual Donor Tiers here, our Corporate Sponsor Donor Tiers here, and about sponsoring our advanced Social Issues Shows here.
We ask families to pay $8/hour for their student to attend classes, but it costs us $27/hour/student to keep the program up and running. Your support helps us fill that $19/hour gap, as well as additional support for students who make use of our scholarship fund.
No matter your level of support, we thank you for being a friend of the program!
Corporate Sponsors & Foundational Support
We don't just build artists, we empower youth for life.
For us, theatre is only part of the formula. We believe the outcome of the student outweighs the outcome of the performance.
The goal is to create students who are empathetic to the world and more empowered to react to it— on stage and beyond the stage. The final performance is the tip of the iceberg.
Underneath the curtain call is months of research, collaboration, and creative discovery. And once they leave the stage, it’s that discovery that sticks with them.

React gave me a family that I will never forget or lose. The entire staff has gifted me with many methods for coping, healthy competition, confidence, and many more important life lessons that were so generously and gently provided to me.

I never felt like I didn't belong. My experience shaped me into the independent, creative, self-driven, free person I am today. ...I learned how to work under pressure and with a time boundary and still use my utmost creativity and discipline.

React planted a seed of confidence in myself that I never knew I needed. That seed has now blossomed and allowed me to go after anything I want because there's no doubt that I can achieve it. React changed my life and I am forever grateful.

Through React I was able to try new ideas and create my style as well. Not only did this allow me to grow as an artist but it also allowed me to connect with other artists in the Indy community and gave me even more opportunities to explore my craft.
