classes are inclusive and open to people of all abilities. Some classes are
designed to be age or gender specific to meet the needs of a particular
group.


We have created a safe and welcoming space where those who love theatre can
grow and develop as performers and as human beings. Neurotypical actors are
welcome to take our classes. By encouraging individual and collaborative
success through drama in an inclusive, safe environment that celebrates
diversity and the joy of the creative arts, CADA supports social and
emotional well-being, growth and empowerment.
