In 2001, the Herberger Theater Center began a collaboration with Free Arts of Arizona to heal young lives through the performing arts.  Teens from group homes, shelters and treatment facilities throughout Maricopa County have an opportunity to create and experience the arts through a two-week theater camp at the Herberger Theater Center.

During the camp, guest artists and creative volunteers introduce the children to improvisation, character development, mask making, costumes, props and technical components of theater. The production is totally created by the young campers and culminates with a final performance. 

Free Arts of Arizona is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing the healing effects of the arts to abused, neglected and homeless children. Since August 1993, Free Arts has provided services to over 14,000 children in Maricopa County.

To support this program, contact Laurene Austin at (602) 254-7399 x105.
