Drama Club’s mission is to consistently care for youth who are incarcerated or court-involved by creating space for them to thrive, using improv as their guide. Improv improves us, which is why we create space for youth to discover it. For those who can’t come to us, we bring it to them. Most importantly, it is fun and gives youth who feel silenced, confined, and controlled, an outlet to collaborate and express their imaginations freely, on their own terms.
