A crowd of students walk into the Curious Theatre building on a bright, sunny day.

Curious New Voices offers in-school programming to enhance youth understanding of theatre as a field and craft. We specialize in high school and college-aged programming.

When my students, as freshmen or sophomores, have their first play read and interpreted by professional actors on the Curious Theatre stage, it changes their writing lives… Dee Covington draws out of them exceptionally mature characters, concepts, and structures,  which through writing and revising, become the plays we see each year.” – Betsey Coleman, Colorado Academy
