PURE Theatre is seeking funding for Haut Gap Middle School and St. Johns High School Youth Companies, an after-school theatre program offered in partnership with Communities in Schools. The program is centered around the development and growth associated with the stages of building a live performance. PURE Theatre's Youth Company is a comprehensive program designed to empower and showcase the unique skill sets of students through the process of live performance.

PURE Youth Companies are intensive, theatre training programs that expose students to in-depth instruction throughout the school year. Each semester, 20 to 25 students meet twice per week for 16 weeks, to learn the art and craft of acting while rehearsing a play. The class culminates in
