What is your mission statement?
The mission of the Denver Center Theatre Company’s Education Department is to provide students of all ages with the means to actively explore the beauty, diversity, complexity and challenges of the world around them through the dramatic process; to generate an appreciation of theatre arts as a vital force in their lives; to enable them to develop their own creative voice through a genuine understanding of the art form and its role in society.
Where is drop off / pick up for summer classes? NEW THIS YEAR: Drop off and pick up are in the same location. Under the Arts Complex on 13th Street between Champa and Arapahoe. Look for the lane marked with traffic cones. Students will be on the west side of the street; cars may line up to wait for students.
