Theatre in Jeffco

Theatre teachers in Jeffco are dedicated to providing students with opportunities to realize their vision while developing critical-thinking skills, finding themselves and their place in this world, and creating experiences that last a lifetime.

Content is not the sole focus of theatre education in Jeffco. The district is committed to providing students with a well-rounded education and opportunities to participate in experiential learning through theatre education. 

Jeffco Theatre Unites Students and Schools

Why Is Theatre Education Important?

In 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act classified the arts, including theatre, as core subjects. Researchers have found that sustained learning in theatre correlates to greater success in math and reading, and students from more challenging socioeconomic backgrounds see the greatest benefits.

Participation in theatre education enables students to embrace the full range of the human experience and develop myriad skills applicable to a variety of future opportunities.

Visit Jeffco School Finder for more information about how schools provide theatre opportunities.

Support Jeffco Arts

Jeffco supports student artists, in large part, with the help of the Jeffco Schools Foundation.  Through community support, Jeffco Schools Foundation works to strengthen our music, theatre and visual arts community, invest in our arts educators, and stimulate growth in our young artists.
