Downstage Arts

Program Description

Downstage Arts is committed to creating access to the performing arts and performing arts education for all people. Our vision is that any student who wishes to participate in the performing arts should have the access and support they need to be successful. By removing boundaries, students can participate in the arts and have the opportunities to tell their unique stories. We believe that art should provoke thought and invoke justice. We are dedicated to utilizing theatre in a way that gives voices to and changes the narratives of marginalized communities in Chicago and beyond.
