"Theater is not just entertainment — it is a lens through which we see ourselves more clearly."

We use scripted and unscripted theater to entertain audiences from the stage, as unique and powerful programming in schools, and into the community via classes in our own studio.

Whether you're looking for a laugh-out-loud comedy experience, an educational program that transforms your students, or a one-of-a-kind theatrical journey — Using Theater brings the stage to wherever you are.
