pre-professional theatre

At Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre Company we are committed to using the arts to make a difference in our community, and one way is through our pre-professional productions.

Young people are resilient and astounding, and usually exceed my expectations. You put them in the same room with Broadway choreographers and a Broadway musical director and expect them to perform as professionals. And they respond and perform not as amateurs but as professionals. Theatre can't solve everything, but it is an amazing moment to watch these young people succeed using a level of skill that we usually only expect from the most seasoned professionals.

At the same time, we don't just want students who want to be professional actors. We want kids who just have an interest in being part of a play. We watch students learn and grow, expand their knowledge and surpass their own comfort zone.

Through theatre we can change the world, or at least get it started and the young people can finish it.
