Creative Action (formerly Theatre Action Project) uses the creative arts to activate the academic, social and emotional development of young people. Through interactive classroom performances, after school residencies and community based programs, CA's team of professional teaching artists inspire youth to be creative artists, courageous allies, critical thinkers and confident leaders in their community.

Description:
Our programs expose young people to critical social problems and offer opportunities for them to creatively think about how they can be a part of solutions to these problems. We teach healthy communication, encourage an appreciation for diversity and inspire people to have compassion for others. Some of the core social issues and life skills our programs address include: low self esteem, bullying, conflict resolution, dating violence, diversity, access to the arts and literacy.

Since 1997, Creative Action has worked to bring dynamic interactive performances and after-school classes to thousands of K-12 youth in the greater Austin area. Ninety percent of the communities CA serves are historically underfunded.
