Theatre for Youth
The Theatre for Youth program offers new ways to see the world through performance-based and participatory theatrical programs that stimulate students to discover Asian Pacific people and cultures.
Created in the early-1970s, Theatre for Youth was designed to promote cultural understanding and racial tolerance among youth. Today, the basic philosophy remains the same and the program has grown and developed to meet the ever-increasing diversity in our society. The programs we offer illustrate the incredible wealth of the Asian Pacific American cultural experiences we have come to appreciate in Southern California.
