This year roughly 400 students enrolled in thirteen different drama classes will produce over 65 nights of live theater. For the students involved, it is not just a class, but a learning community that combines artistic, academic, and leadership skills. Students have the opportunity to act, write plays, direct, design, build sets, props, and costumes, and manage the company. This unique student-operated theater program is only made possible by donations from the Tam community.

The cornerstone of our program is the professional guest artist workshops where prominent actors, directors, and technicians lead small student group workshops. Our students learn advanced techniques and acting skills. These workshops are only made possible through donations.

Donors are a fundamental part of our company. In addition to funding guest artists, donor support covers technical expenses like sets, costumes and operation costs for the company. Only five percent of our program budget is funded by the Tamalpais High School District. Donations are tax deductible and can be made through the Tam High Foundation for “CTE/Tam Drama” or donations can be made to CTE directly.
