Education

The education programs at California Theatre Center (CTC) are primarily intended to provide children with a safe, structured and supported outlet. Here our students focus their creative energy into learning and developing skills for expression, thereby building self-confidence and self-esteem.  We believe that when children participate in our programs, discover the power of learning, and experience themselves as skilled and successful, they are more eager to pursue learning as a lifelong adventure.  Parents marvel at the positive growth they see in their children after becoming involved with CTC's Education Program. See your child thrive through theatre with California Theatre Center.
