Our vision is to aspire for a day when every American has access to the empathy-building art form of theatre and has a respected voice in the room where it happens.

Program accomplishments

  • ALT In Classrooms is the flagship program of the organization that focuses on deep impact vs broad reach. In Classrooms is built to serve up to 20 students at a time in a cohort with the average cohort receiving 20 contact hours of direct instruction from ALT staff and professional teaching artists. This programming saw consistent growth due to its innovative design that allows ALT to meet students and partners where they are developmentally. The most impactful iteration of this program is where students create change by writing designing and acting in their own original production around community issues critical to them. The students oversee a budget and are guided throughout the process by ALT staff and teaching artists to maximize their storytelling capabilities to present in front of a live audience made up of the community. In Classrooms also tours the full state of Ohio to bring an ALT-original production around teen mental health written by ALTs Executive Artistic Director & CEO to high schoolers to reduce stigma around mental health highlight career pathways in behavioral health and build awareness for resources available to them and their guardians. Truly this programming serves youth and empowers them to serve the community. This program served over 7,600 youth this past year directly. This work has seen particular growth and traction in exponentially driving kindergarten-readiness success that is looking to scale significantly in the upcoming year thanks to increased fund development.
