About the Artist
InterAct Story Theatre is a theatre for young audiences and multidisciplinary arts-in-education organization based in Wheaton, Maryland, an urban district just outside of Washington, DC. Their mission is to create meaningful, accessible, interactive theatre and arts learning experiences for kids and the people who love them--especially to those who experience economic, social, or geographic barriers to equitable arts access. They create and produce original theatre for young audiences (professional artists performing for children, youth, families, and communities); present arts programming in the local community; and design and implement innovative, engaging, effective theatre and arts-based educational programs for all ages and stages.
