Program Description:
All levels of experience are welcome!
The final performances for this program will take place on March 12 (7:30pm) and March 13 (2pm).
Spectrum is a theatre arts education program for LGBTQ+ youth and their allies. Through a series of rehearsals and workshops, youth will learn the basics of storytelling, performance, production, and playwriting. Facilitators will work in community with the youth to bridge the gap between the queer experience and allyship while they create an original play or musical. Using the performing arts and centering authentic voices and experiences, Spectrum promotes social justice and advocates for systemic change in our communities.
SPARC offers a yearlong Spectrum program during the school year and a week-long Spectrum Summer Session.

Praise for Spectrum:
– SPARC PARENT
I want to thank you for providing such a wonderful experience with this program. My student has absolutely loved [Spectrum] so far and shares a lot with us about what you are doing in class. That’s how I can tell he is really into it – he isn’t usually so talkative! It has also been a great way for us to talk and explore issues more openly at home. Thank you for offering such a thoughtful and creative program.
