Youth Programs

We offer comprehensive arts education through our YASS Summer Camp, TPM Arts Academy, and our new after-school drama clubs. Our YASS Summer Camp, open to students entering grades 4 through 12, runs from the third week of June through the end of July and concludes with our Showcase of the Arts event. TPM Arts Academy provides classes both via Zoom and in person on weeknights from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. These four-week sessions include in-person dance, writing via Zoom, and drama offered both online and in person. Our after-school drama clubs meet twice a week at participating schools. For more details on locations, please visit our event page.

Adult Programs

We produce 1 to 2 original gospel stage plays each year, which are performed in theaters, churches, and public venues. Our productions feature modern-day stories infused with biblical principles. We offer opportunities for both seasoned and aspiring artists to audition for roles or participate in behind-the-scenes work. Each year, we hold an open audition for our company cast, welcoming new talent. Additionally, we host various community art events that highlight local artists, providing a platform to showcase the incredible talent in Long Beach and surrounding areas. If you're interested in performing, working behind the scenes, or participating in our events, we'd love to connect with you!
