At KWC Performing Arts, we believe it is the intersection of the creative mind and the entrepreneurial spirit that produces our incredible kids.
When exposure (seeing a performance or watching a KidPower youth leader) is followed by education (studying the arts or KidPower Leadership training) and experience (performing in the arts or working on the KidPower Leadership Team), children begin to reach their full potential.

Who We Are
From its very inception KWC Performing Arts has welcomed all young people and families regardless of race, ethnicity, ability, religion, age, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We use performing arts to explore complex social justice issues, amplify marginalized voices, and foster opportunities to learn from artists and professionals of many backgrounds in our classes, camps, and workshops.
We recognize that, intentionally or not, arts communities have a history of systemic exclusion and inequity. This statement is our commitment to continuously learn, reflect, and take action to improve equity, inclusion, representation, accessibility, and diversity within all KWC does.
Statement Against Racism
KWC Performing Arts does not tolerate any form of racism, harassment, or bullying. We invest in anti-racist training and have promoted a staff & board working group focused on building anti-racism into the fabric of our organization. We acknowledge that becoming an anti-racist organization is an ongoing process with no finish line.
Our Commitment to DEIA
We prioritize DEIA in our practices which include, but are not limited to: equity on and off stage; continued DEIA training for staff, board members, and volunteer leadership; diversity in our programming and production teams; and continued partnership with the community to ensure audiences have access to KWC Performing Arts.
We understand that the foundation of a vibrant, thriving non-profit theatre is the cross-pollination of creative/diverse programming, the cultivation of inclusive practices and strategies, and the development of a diverse team of employees and volunteers who share these values.
