Founded in 1991, The Actors’ Studio of Newburyport serves as a vital cultural resource for the community - to inspire, enrich and engage audiences and to develop both the art form and the individual.

 

Theater in the Open is dedicated to producing accessible, innovative, and generous theater that promotes community engagement. Distinctive to Theater in the Open is our creative reimagining of classics, art-making outdoors in nature and in non-traditional spaces, and excellence in arts education.

 

For over 15 years, Acting Out Productions has provided a creative and supportive environment for students of all ages to learn improvisation, self-expression, performance and stagecraft. Acting Out Productions offers workshops for students aged 4-18 in acting and musical theatre and performs at venues in the greater Newburyport area.

 

The Dance Place is where children and adults can express themselves through their love for dance!  

Our non-competitive, nurturing environment allows dancers of any level and any age

to feel comfortable expressing themselves.

 

The mission of the Firehouse Center for the Arts is to enrich and entertain all segments of the Greater Newburyport region by providing high quality visual and performing arts experiences.

 

The Performing Project was founded in 2011 in partnership with The Actors Studio of Newburyport, MA and the Youth Development Organization of Lawrence, MA. The purpose of the program is to give children in Lawrence an experience in the performing arts that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford because of show fees, costume costs and transportation to rehearsals. The Performing Project gives a theatrical opportunity to over sixty Lawrence students each year, including ten young adults who work in the program each summer. We strive to help actors become more confident in their theatrical ability and themselves. Our motto is “Find Your Inner Star” which is our ultimate goal. The students form friendships and develop self-confidence throughout our two-week summer program and the other theatrical experiences and programs we offer throughout the year. The Performing Project Education Fund established in 2016 helps students to apply to college and assists with college costs.
