Mission: Free Street Theater teaches acting and writing skills to youth so they can open their potential to be creative, active participants in their own lives.

Since 1969, Free Street Theater has been creating original performances to inspire new artists and new audiences.

Method: Free Street 's acting practice is a process of eliminating blocks that stop the natural organic emotional flow of the artist.

History: Free Street Theater has always been about taking art, the highest quality art and the highest quality art teaching to people where access limited. From founding Artistic Director Patrick Henry to current Artistic Director Ron Bieganski, Free Street has created model programs and set the bar high for what community arts can be.
