Support Out of Hand programming:

Creative Kids

Through free theater training classes, Creative Kids teaches confidence, as well as communication, collaboration, and creative problem solving skills that will serve students at home, in the classroom, and beyond. Creative Kids is a free arts education program that provides after-school classes at high poverty schools and after-school centers. We have served over 650 students at 12 schools with 312 classes, free to students and schools.

Out of Hand is committed to providing high-quality arts education at no cost to the students or school, but we can only do that through generous support from grants and individual donors. If you would like to support this work, we hope you will consider sponsoring a student, teacher, or school.

In 2022, “Calf” addressed mass incarceration and the obstacles people face upon release from prison, in partnership with the Georgia Justice Project. We partnered with the Partnership of Southern Equity and playwright Ingrid Griffith to inspire the audience to take political action with “Shirley Chisholm: Unbossed and Unbowed” in 2023. 2024’s “Class Dismissed” by Paris Crayton III delved into classroom censorship with the ACLU of Georgia, and in 2025 we have partnered with Partners for Home and Mayor Andre Dickens with “How to Make a Home.”
