At Creative Root, we do a lot of growing. You can think of us as a mighty forest. Filled with magic, wonder, and a whole lot of characters. But a forest isn’t a forest without its trees.
Every single one, no matter how big or small, rambunctious or quiet, plays an important part in the forest’s special power.
Which is why we believe that to grow strong as a community, we have to take care of everyone, so every tree, every seed, and every flower, can become their best, silliest, most creative self.
We’re gonna move our bodies. We’re gonna use our imaginations. And we’re gonna get growing!
At Creative Root, we believe in the power of non-linear and collective growth. Together, we’ve built responsive spaces that work to inspire young people, educators, and intergenerational learners with the tools necessary to believe in the power of their mighty and creative voice!

In our classes and camps, it’s not just about being on stage. We focus on educating young people on the entire theatre-making process through different learning styles. Theatre is about investigating the varied, creative stories that make up the world around us.
