PARENTS...
We offer a program of educational and hands-on learning experiences such as classes, public performances, hosting staged readings, mentoring, and engaging in community outreach. We are solely interested in youth theater and its importance to the growth and betterment of the child. We are excited to be offering this to you and your kids and we hope you will be, too!

We train our students through a comprehensive and cohesive curriculum based on the American Alliance of Theater and Education's goals and objectives. And our students NEVER compete with adults for roles in productions--on every production, in every circumstance, a PACE cast is comprised entirely of youth actors! In fact, most of the crew for each production is comprised of youth as well... In other words, this is your "Kid's Theater Company."

Volunteer Opportunities Volunteers are always needed to help with many programs in PACE--outreach and education, assisting with costuming, set construction, box office and concessions on productions. Or perhaps you are a person who enjoys clerical work like folding and stapling brochures to be mailed out to interested persons like yourself? Maybe you like working booths at arts festivals and meeting with the public? We invite you to join us. Write to Debbie Baldwin or Angela Howard to get started.
