Outreach


In September 2015, TFA launched an Outreach program in New Hanover County schools and transition programs.
Since then, TFA has provided hundreds of students with disabilities the unique opportunity to explore the performing arts. For many students, this is their only chance to experience the arts.

Teachers are amazed and enthusiastic about how participating in our program benefits their students, both on stage and off.

This program is provided at no cost. And even if we say so ourselves, Theatre for All is dearly loved by teachers, students and families!
“Kim has such an amazing impact on our students. I've seen some
who are usually quiet, use their voices. Students who don't like
to move, dance. Those who have difficulty with
communicating emotions, express themselves.
They shine brightly. Kim does an amazing job.
Her positive spirit, creativity, and love
for what she does is profound. My students
leave class feeling accomplished, successful,
and worthy of praise.“
Chris Koch, Lead teacher of the Transitions program.

Chris is deaf. He really appreciates it when we learn to sign the final song in our shows.

We're all speaking his language for a change.
