Who We Are!
The Free Theatre is a non-profit 501(c)3, student-run, tuition-free company for students in 9th-12th grade who are passionate about creating theater. Through our mentorship and advisory program, students are trained to be leaders in the creative and production processes, taking on the positions of Director, Music Director, Choreographer, Stage Manager, and Crew/Designers for our full-scale musical productions. Students are supported by a team of mentors, working professionals in DC/MD/VA theatre, who serve as resources and advisors throughout the year.
Our last production…
Alice By Heart!
We had an amazing company of 70 teens, including cast, crew, and onstage musicians put this show together! We are so grateful to have shared this curious story!
