Theatre Arts & Opportunities Foundation, Inc. is fully invested in the creation of theatre programs where they would otherwise not exist. Emphasis is placed on the discipline of play writing and performing through which both artistic and life skills are learned, while a sense of community and purpose is developed.
ACTORS & PLAYWRIGHTS
The Actors & Playwrights Program at Garner Correctional Institution supports and encourages the talents of approximately 22 inmates per semester. They have written dozens of plays which have been produced for performances within Garner as well as in surrounding Connecticut Community Theaters.

Greetings! All here at TAO hope this posting finds you and your families healthy and safe. While much has been still during this unprecedented time, TAO has kept moving forward.
While Theatre Arts and Opportunities teachers have not been able to enter DOC facilities due to the pandemic, we have been busy.
Well here it is, early spring in Connecticut and all is very quiet. TAO teachers have been home in accordance with guidelines from the Governor and DOC to stay put.
As 2019 winds to a close, TAO is taking the opportunity to reflect on the growth and development of our programs as we prepare for another exciting year of theatre.
Theatre Arts & Opportunities is made possible by the generous contributions of our supporters. Please consider donating and join our mission towards changing lives through the arts.
