The Academy Theatre

A 501(c)3 charitable organization whose mission is to provide arts education, performing arts, life

The Academy Theatre is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and has been serving children and young adults for almost 10 years and we are proud to be in the leading role for youth performing arts, life-building skills and a leadership theatre program in the Phoenix area. The Academy Theatre provides youth an affordable to no cost after school arts educational program fostering valuable life, ethics,

and social skills and every member receives instruction in dance, music, vocals, literature, theatre, and stage technical skills. The Academy Theatre runs as a membership peer-led organization and promotes many leadership and management opportunities within our organization. With members interacting positively and supporting others who share a vested interest and we as an extension of a child’s social, home and academics, not only do the youth of our program benefit but also their families and the community. Our mission is to give the youth of our community an aspiring love for the arts, education and instruction in all art disciplines, technical skills in theatre and valuable social etiquette, management, leadership and life skills for their future. We are driven by recognizing each member as a valuable asset in our community with a creative edge in society for life successes. The Academy Theatre gives a child a sense of community; an environment with others in a non-intimidating setting with all the benefits a child deserves.
