Mission Statement

Studio Playground fosters individual growth for children in our community by using the performing arts.

Core Values

We believe all children deserve opportunities for creative enrichments and social-emotional learning benefits derived from theater programs. It is imperative for healthy development that children access programs which build confidence and social awareness. Laughter and performing arts entail benefits which transcend socioeconomic status and cultural differences. Studio Playground supports students in their individual growth and inspires audiences to engage in meaningful discourse by enacting our core values.

Inclusivity, Empowerment & Social Change

Inclusivity: We define inclusion as the ability for all members of society to fully participate in programs from which they derive personal and collective value. By establishing a classroom environment in which students feel seen and respected by teachers and peers, we seek to create spaces that encourage feelings of safety, bravery, and compassion.

Empowerment: Our teaching philosophy is based on meeting students where they are and modeling compassion, respect, and inclusion. By allowing classes to develop to support the needs of individuals, we intend to enhance group dynamics and encourage individual growth for each student. Our programs foster empowerment by teaching the health benefits of laughter, facilitating the physical and emotional benefits of play, and inspiring empathy for younger generations.

Social change: We are guided by the principles of social justice and the importance of human connection. We believe all members of society deserve opportunities to participate in live performance and artistic enrichment. There is great potential for live performance to inspire social connection, facilitate meaningful discourse, articulate collective values, and heal the wounds of adverse experiences.
