McCallum Theatre Institute - December 2009

The McCallum Theatre Institute, established in September 1997, is the education division of the McCallum Theatre for the Performing Arts. The Institute offers a spectrum of arts education programs for the community, including free activities for more than 37,200 school children and classroom teachers each year. The McCallum Theatre Institute seeks to enhance the role of the arts in our lives and in our community by inspiring greater awareness of their educational, cognitive, emotional and spiritual power. By encouraging an active and experiential study of the arts, the Institute advances the belief that all human beings are inherently creative. The programs developed by the Institute are designed to build on that creativity by equipping individuals with the skills necessary for an enduring appreciation of the arts and their essential contribution to enlightened citizenship.
