Crawford Taylor Education Initiative Inspiring the Next Generation
When we’re not busy putting on shows in the summer, we’re hard at work training young performers, producers and creators. Muny education programs offer something for everyone, onstage or behind the scenes.

Programs at The Muny teach students that the theatre is a great place to find a hobby or make a living. The skills and discipline they learn while participating in a Muny education program will serve them well in whatever career they pursue.
Thanks to generous support from the Crawford Taylor Foundation, The Muny has developed new arts education opportunities and strengthened existing programs, enabling us to improve overall programing under a single cohesive framework.
