Corporate Sponsorship

Traveling Players Ensemble is a non-profit 501c(3) educational theatre that creates theatre with children and teens to enhance their self-expression, practice self-reliance, and develop social skills while building community. Our goal is to provide an outstanding theatre experience for students that will contribute to their maturity and cultivate a lifelong love of both theatre and the outdoors while meeting rigorous artistic and educational standards.  

Our acting classes and camps provide a full continuum of theatre training, from beginner workshops to advanced conservatories. We specialize in innovative training with substantial contact hours, often leading to
transformative student growth.  You can see the joy and confidence in their performances!
