We Believe The Arts Help Our Youth Thrive
According to a 2012 study by the Colorado Arts Evaluation Group, supported through independent funding from Colorado Creative Industries . . .
~74% of youth who participate in arts and/or theatre-based education programs "more easily themselves graduating from high school" because theatre education promotes critical thinking.
~85% of youth "feel better about themselves and like to help others more" because theatre education promotes respect for diversity AND self-identity.
