Out of Hand Theater’s Four Program Areas

Shows in homes

Each year we produce a one-person hour long show in living rooms and community spaces across the state. Each show includes a cocktail party and facilitated talk back, and every show is produced in collaboration with a community partner.

EQUITABLE DINNERS

Equitable Dinners takes place both in-person and online and brings neighbors and strangers together for a captivating short, one person play followed by facilitated conversation to amplify our shared values and pave a road to healing from the effects of racism.

Equitable Dinners at Work combines art, information, and small-group conversation to give employers the tools to work effectively in teams, build meaningful relationships, and navigate a rapidly changing landscape.

Community Collaborations

Our community collaborations are as varied as the partners we work with. These projects range from one night only events to long term projects to engage communities in conversation around a specific topic. We would love to partner with your organization!

education

Creative Kids is a program we offer for free in-school and after-school theater training to schools serving high-poverty student populations

The Community Impact Lab is a 6-month accelerator in Arts-Based Community Engagement (ABCE). Through online modules, participants build skills to develop and implement community collaborations on social issues—and grow in inquiry, cultural competency, racial equity, and more.

Our program isn’t just theory—it’s built on a proven ABCE framework that drives both financial sustainability and community healing.
