Education & Outreach
At At The 5th Avenue Theatre, we are dedicated to enriching the theater experience for audiences of all ages. Through our numerous education and outreach programs we introduce young people to the magic of theatre, teach about the productions on our stage and nurture the audience and performers of today and tomorrow. What makes our programs unique is our connection to some of the best teachers and performers working in the world of musical theatre today. We provide direct access to the professional directors, actors, performers, and designers working on Broadway, in regional theatres throughout the country, and on our own stage right here in Seattle. Participants in our classes, workshops, and special events gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the great American art form, musical theatre. We hope you will join us!
