About the provider

At Sutter Street Theatre, the stated mission is: "theatre isn’t just something you watch—it’s something you do." The program notes say no prior theatre experience is needed, classes meet weekly and focus on skill-building over time, and workshops are more intensive and often lead to a final performance.
