Robert & Judi Newman Center for Theatre Education MAP
For eager and imaginative students as young as three to high schoolers taking the first step towards a theatre career, our classes fuel creativity and reinforce the tools to help all skill levels improve and develop their acting craft.
It’s more than just acting. Our classes help form well-rounded, articulate and empathetic individuals. Whether your student is just discovering their voice or is ready for master-level instruction, we have the perfect courses to help them grow and thrive.
We’re no strangers to teaching, engaging more than 145,000 students each year through on-site classes, in-school programs, student matinees and Theatre for Young Audiences performances. Students learn first-hand from our professional teaching staff, who bring decades of professional experience to their classes and curriculum. All personnel undergo extensive training and screening, including background checks by the Colorado Bureau of Investigations. Please click here to learn more about our faculty.
