Our mission is to create safe, inclusive, and dynamic spaces where participants can explore, heal, and grow. We believe in the potential of every individual, regardless of their acting prowess, to harness the therapeutic magic of drama, fostering resilience and meaningful connections in their personal lives. By supporting Drama With A Twist you directly contribute to transforming these lives.
“This Program did not just give me something to do. It helped me heal in ways I didn’t expect. That’s why I believe so deeply that Drama with a Twist needs to continue—for the next person who feels as lost as I did, for the next person who needs a little light in their darkness.”

“I truly believe that Ms. Ribeiro’s presentation was important for our middle school students as it opened their eyes to certain things in a relationship that are unhealthy, but that they might not have realized before. Students in each class were engaged and participated throughout the lesson.”
