The six-week after-school workshop series, Instruments of Change: Building Creative Communities is an interactive language arts, music and theater appreciation program facilitated by professional teaching artists and guest speakers.

What does it mean to be an “instrument of change?” Through creative expression, theater games, and critical analysis, students will explore the themes, characters, and music of the shows Blue Man Group and Meredith Willson’s The Music Man, examining concepts of growth, acceptance, individuality, and community, and how they relate to the arts.

Instruments of Change is a grant-funded program sponsored by the American Savings Foundation and supported by The Next Street. 30 spots are available for interested middle and high school students (Grades 6-12). Participation is free and includes a complimentary ticket to the March 4th performance of Blue Man Group and the June 3rd performance of The Music Man at the Palace Theater.
