Create & Learn

Victoria Theatre Association’s Education & Engagement programs enrich the lives, learning and leisure of Miami Valley residents by providing free and low-cost creative experiences that are varied, diverse and accessible. We believe everyone in our community deserves to experience the arts and express themselves creatively regardless of skill level, age, gender, race, ethnicity, abilities or socioeconomic status and our many community collaborations enable us to fulfill that belief.

Community

Our community programs don’t just happen at the theatre. We also bring creativity out into the community through our involvement with local schools, EbonNia Gallery and SHANGO: Center for the Study of African-American Art and Culture, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and many other community projects.
