Open Arts Alliance

Open Arts Alliance empowers youth through performing arts education in a supportive environment fostering creativity, confidence and self expression. Our programs nurture the next generation of leaders both on and off the stage while strengthening community bonds and creating a lasting impact.

Mainstage Musical – Open Arts Alliance produces 1 mainstage musical over 5 months featuring tri-weekly rehearsals. Students receive training in vocal technique, acting and dance witha specific emphasis on ensemble work, stage presence and storytelling through music. Each year Mainstage Musical production team members identify 4-5 core curriculum standards from both the Connecticut and National Arts Standards to focus on during the process.

Community Outreach – Open Arts Alliance engages our community through our four signature programs: Senior Arts Education, Student Leadership Councils, In-school residencies and Development projects. Open Arts proudly pioneers therapeutic music and drama programs for senior citizens that use principles and practices of the performing arts to bring music and laughter to health-care facilities, assisted living communities and community centers, making theatre accessible for all, particularly those struggling with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or limited physical mobility.

Open Arts Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 45-3220208) based in Greenwich, CT.
