About Rise
This Is Rise Theatre Arts.
A nonprofit performing arts community that empowers students to develop not only as performers, but as artists, collaborators, and leaders.
Where It All Began
Our Founding Families
Every organization has a beginning. Ours began with people.
Before there were programs, productions, or performances, there were families who said yes. They showed up early, gave generously, encouraged freely, and believed in something that did not yet exist. Rise Theatre Arts is what it is today because of their courage, their community, and their commitment to something worth building together.
