About UsTheatre helps young people develop skills that will carry them far beyond their years of high school. Practicing teamwork, discipline, commitment, responsibility, initiative, and creativity gives us the tools to be outstanding members and leaders of our communities. Theatre teaches empathy. It allows you to walk in someone else's shoes and in understanding others, we learn to understand ourselves...what we have the potential to be! At Marcos de Niza we learn how we can contribute to something bigger than ourselves.
