Get in the Act! Arts in Action 501(c)(3) Non-for-Profit:

Our mission: We use the arts as a tool to enhance and strengthen the learning process.

We offer performance arts based programs designed to nurture and develop the whole student. All of the programs fulfill the California and Nevada State Core Arts Curriculum requirements. Each program is customized to meet the needs of the particular organization and age group.

Artists in Schools:

Participants in our performing arts residency use theater, improvisation, playwriting, music or dance to explore core curriculum subjects in a dramatic way. Our programs allow students to use hands-on, interactive learning techniques that support and enhance academic standards.

Teacher Professional Development Workshops

Discover how to use the arts as compelling teaching tool for exploring and connecting other areas of your curriculum. Each participant receives instruction that includes theoretical approaches, skill and technique building, and performance development.

Artists in the Community:

This program offers tailored arts instruction to participants in community centers, family shelters, juvenile halls and senior citizen facilities. Get in the Act! can adapt our curriculum to meet the specific needs of your organization.
