Theatre, Art & Music for Young Creators

Theatre33 welcomed its first young performers in 2016 and has since released over 40 productions that involve youth.  We encourage our students to participate in festivals, explore creative careers and support their peers in other artistic disciplines. 

We are excited to kick off the next season of learning. Our Youth Drama Studio offers Russian-language and bilingual/English programs that combine theatre training with singing, art, and other creative activities for children and teens at different stages of their artistic development.
