Welcome to the creative, dynamic and certainly dramatic world of theatre! Whether you have aspirations of Broadway and Hollywood or simply want to have fun and express yourself, The Human Race’s expanded Education program has something for everyone. Knowing that the performing arts can be a life-long passion, we have developed a curriculum that is designed to nurture that enthusiasm from early childhood on into retirement. Our classes are taught by professionals, people who make their living doing what they love – being in the theatre – and who seek to share their knowledge and experience with you.

We look forward to seeing you and we thank you for becoming a part of The Human Race.

CLASS LOCATION
The Caryl D. Philips Creativity Center is located at 116 North Jefferson Street in downtown Dayton, between First Street and Second Street.
