According to the 2024 Ohio Arts Education Data Project, only 11 out of 131 schools in Lucas County offer theatre education programs–and absolutely none in Toledo Public elementary schools.

CTW teaches theatre education to more than 475 students every year; 48% of those students are Toledo residents. 

Theatre education is more than putting on a play. It’s practicing skills like public speaking, leadership, service, critical thinking, literacy, empathy.

It’s the joy of a theatre family. And tuition for theatre education lessons and productions at CTW is $180; less than half of what it costs to put on programs. We also provide over $5,000 in scholarships each year.
