ArtsPower's twofold mission is to provide young people, many for the very first time, with the unforgettable opportunity to experience the transporting power of outstanding theatre that entertains, stimulates, and educates; and to enhance “character education” among young people by creating theatre that fosters sound moral development, encourages self-expression, ignites the desire to read, and advances their development as productive members of society. Celebrating our 27th anniversary in 2012, ArtsPower is one of America’s preeminent nonprofit producers and presenters of professional theatre for young and family audiences. With over 750 performances annually, ArtsPower has amassed an audience of more than 12 million people in 47 states.
