LCC Theatre's Performing Arts Education program provides an accessible way for people of all ages to interact with artists and appreciate performing arts from all corners of the world. We believe that performing arts offer ways to explore other cultures, connect us with our own roots, and challenge us to think in new ways. The program is available through pre-perfomance lectures, master classes and demonstrations at Leeward Community College (unless otherwise noted) and area schools.
