About the provider

In 2003, two teens asked their mothers to teach them about Shakespeare. In 2025, TNT gave eight Free-To-The-Public performances of Much Ado About Nothing in Roseville, Rocklin, Fair Oaks, and Folsom. In 2026, TNT will present The Taming of the Shrew. TNT has mentored hundreds of youth and served thousands more in the community, and for most of the last twelve years, TNT members have given a free, weekly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy workshop using PLAY THEORY for at-risk youth in Koinonia foster programs.

Participation requires an annual family registration. For the 2025-2026 season, the non-refundable registration fee is $25.00. The fee must be paid before enrollment in Play Theory classes or productions. Summer camp participants are not required to purchase annual family registration. Families must pay once per season to enroll and purchase classes. TNT uses BAND App for productions/shows and On the Spot Improv; classes and camps use email communication.
