Where theatre connects community
To ring in the New Year, The Actors Theatre Workshop is in need of a volunteer team to assist in the removal of our holiday decorations. Help with the breakdown of our space after the Holiday celebration of our award-winning after-school theatre arts education program for children living in temporary housing or on the spectrum.

This event is open to corporate volunteer teams only.
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 of people from all walks of life—from homeless children to formerly incarcerated individuals to the educationally and economically privileged—ATW fosters empathetic and resilient communities through theatre. Over 10,000 individuals have benefited from our work. Join us and be part of transformative theater experiences.
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
