Let's Partner!

Ready to bring PEAK Theatre Arts to your school or community?

Our partnership process is simple, flexible, and built to meet your needs.

Here’s how to get started:

STEP 1

Connect with Us

Start by filling out our Interest Form. Tell us a little about your school, your goals, and what kind of program you're looking for (in-school residency, after-school program, special project, etc.).

STEP 2

Discovery Call

We’ll schedule a 30-minute call to learn more about your community, goals, and programming needs. Based on your goals, we’ll recommend a customized theatre program from our suite of culturally responsive offerings. From our Spotlight Curriculum to Once Upon a Time: Story Drama, we tailor each residency to meet your students where they are—and inspire where they can go.

STEP 3

Agreement & Logistics

Once we’ve confirmed program goals, schedule, and pricing, we’ll send a proposal outlining the scope, key dates, and next steps. A 30% deposit is required to secure your dates. We'll also provide all required documents (COI, W-9, TB, Live Scan) along with flyers, family communication templates, and consent forms.

STEP 4

All Actors to the Stage!

Our experienced teaching artist will arrive ready to engage, uplift, and empower your students. You can expect clear communication, culturally responsive practices, and high-quality instruction every step of the way.

STEP 6

Reflection & Feedback

At the end of each program, we gather feedback from students, staff, and families to ensure we’re meeting your needs. We also offer a debrief call to reflect and plan for future collaborations.

Success Story

“The impact of our partnership has been both on my agency CII and the Echo Park/Pico Union community for the following reasons. Students shared an interest and the importance of having a space where they can feel safe, heard and understood besides the academic places already offered. Bringing this program to Dalzell Lance helped CII get closer to closing the gap of lack of arts in the school and giving students the opportunity to continue to nourish an interest of theirs. I have seen first hand the passion and dedication that our students have had since joining the program. The work and support Ms. Jessica provided to the kids during the past couple of months have helped students work on adding more magic to their resumes.”

How does PEAK align with state standards and initiatives like Prop 28?

PEAK Theatre Arts is fully aligned with California's Visual and Performing Arts Standards (VAPA) standards and integrates Social Emotional Learning (SEL) outcomes. Our turnkey program qualifies for Prop 28 arts education funding and supporting state goals around equity, engagement and enrichment.
What makes PEAK different from other after school drama programs?

PEAK is culturally responsive and student centered. Our programs uplift historically untold stories and provides a safe and brave space for students to tell their stories. We develop confidence, creativity and community.
What will our students gain from this experience?

At PEAK Theatre Arts, students gain more than just performance experience. Our programs are designed to develop 21st-century skills like communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Through theatre, they also build social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies—growing in self-awareness, empathy, confidence, and resilience. Because our curriculum is culturally responsive, students explore stories that reflect their identities, lived experiences, and the communities they come from. This deepens their sense of belonging and encourages authentic self-expression. For middle and high school students, the culminating showcase serves as a tangible project that can be included in portfolios, college applications, resumes, and job interviews—demonstrating leadership, creativity, and the ability to work collaboratively on meaningful, identity-affirming projects.
Do all PEAK Theatre Arts programs end with a performance?

Yes! Every PEAK program concludes with a culminating showcase. This gives students the opportunity to share their growth, creativity, and learning with an audience of peers, family, and community. Please note: Many of our students are participating in theatre for the first time, so we prioritize the process over the product. By centering on process, students are free to have fun, build confidence and take creative risks. It also ensures that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued regardless of prior experience. So, while final presentations are meaningful and engaging, they are never about perfection or polish.
What's included in your programs?

We provide trained teaching artists, a fully developed curriculum, classroom management, and all materials and supplies. We handle all the heavy lifting so your team can focus on student impact.
How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the program length and format. We work with your budget and help you leverage Prop 28 and other funding streams. Contact us today for a custom quote!
How do you measure student success and program impact?

We track growth in social emotional learning, communication, collaboration, and confidence through observational rubrics, students reflections, and performance outcomes. We also provide end-of-program feedback and reporting. Fun Tip: At the end of our culminating showcases, we invite students back on stage for a short Q&A with the audience. This allows students share their experience and growth in real time.
How many students do you need to run a PEAK program?

We recommend a minimum of 8 students per group to ensure engaging and collaborative theatre experience. With Prop 28 funding, schools often have flexibility to serve smaller groups especially if it meets students needs and equity goals. We're happy to work with you to design a program that maximizes your funding and student impact.
Can your programs support our goals around attendance and family engegment?

Absolutely! Our culminating showcases build bridges between home, school and culture. Schools have seen improved attendance, increased student pride, and more parent involvement through our programs.
What is cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel a scheduled class or program, we require at least 10 business days’ notice. Cancellations made with less than 10 days' notice forfeit the 30% deposit, as it secures your program slot and covers planning and operation costs.
