Cultural Organization
InterAct Story Theatre is a multidisciplinary arts-in-education organization and touring theatre for young audiences. Since our founding in 1981, we have been dedicated to providing quality performances, arts-infused workshops and artist-in-residency programs for students, teachers and families. As experts in arts integration, we are committed to producing arts programs with artistic integrity and direct relevance to the educational objectives of the schools and community organizations we serve. Our mission is to bring arts-based learning experiences to everyone, especially to those communities that are chronically underserved due to economic, social, and geographic constraints. Arts are for everyone, and everyone learns through the arts!
