ATW’s creative innovation in drama, acting, and theatre education transforms lives and communities through award-winning programs and productions, led by Artistic Director and Founder Thurman E. Scott.
By liberating the talents and abilities of people from all walks of life – from homeless children to the incarcerated to the educationally and economically privileged – ATW creates tangible change, empathetic and empowered individuals, and resilient communities. We’ve worked with over 10,000 individuals and invite you to help us reach more.
In order to make the crucial contact which makes learning, teaching and the exchange of ideas possible, the teacher or facilitator must understand the background of each child. He must understand that every member of society feels validated in some places and invalidated in others.
-Thurman E. Scott
