What do you love about your work? We ❤️ collaborating with theatre educators - like Debbie Prost!! Debbie has brought in several TAA members as teaching artists and collaborators on productions.

Debbie: "As a theatre person, I continue to have a desire to collaborate, be creative, and to learn, and guest artists bring so much energy and expertise to the room. Working with guest artists brings out different and new things in the students."

Please reach out if you want to know more about how you can collaborate with us!!
