About Outta Theatre
Founded in 2012, Outta Theatre exists to provide creative educational and performance opportunities that empower and equip students of all ages to grow towards their potential and excel in confidence, creativity, and character. We offer piano & voice lessons, acting & mime workshops, summer camps, as well as Kids & Teen Theatre programs with regular performances. Outta Theatre provides practical training combined with performance experience in a safe, creative, learning environment. Instead of learning technique in a standard class setting or auditioning to be on stage for a specific production, the Outta Theatre experience combines the benefits of both worlds. Our programs create customized productions to enable everyone to get a part. Each student will enjoy the opportunity to develop their skills and confidence in the spotlight, and experience the energy of a live audience.
