What we do
SEGWAE Performing Arts Theater (short for Setting Educational Goals With Academic Excellence Performing Arts Theater) is more than just a vibrant community organization - it’s a space where kids aged 5-14 discover their potential through the magic of performance and creativity.
We use theater and the arts to teach valuable life skills like self-awareness, resilience, and confidence in a way that’s fun and engaging.
Whether they’re on stage or behind the scenes, kids learn to express themselves, tackle challenges, and shine with self-assurance, all while making friends and unforgettable memories.
At SEGWAE Performing Arts Theater, we believe in nurturing talent and building life skills that will serve our students far beyond the spotlight!
Mission
SEGWAE Performing Arts Theater is dedicated to giving kids a voice and a creative outlet through theatrical productions and life-skills learning.
