Aspire is a community theatre initiative that offers the local performing arts community the opportunity to produce theatre in regional languages, running the gamut of classics to local new works. In addition, the EnActe Radio show offers our community in-depth conversations with local, national, and international movers and shakers in the Arts and radio plays for all ages.Â
Populations served: Local theatre makers and theatre goers of all ages looking to connect with their roots through regional language theatre, with a focus on South Asian regions, and especially looking for intergenerational content. This program is supported in part by local small business sponsorships.
