Our Philosophy
Verge Theater envisions a community strengthened by theater education. We see individuals nurtured, challenged, and radically accepted through the creative process. We believe that when making theater together, we can learn how to make community, to turn mistakes into treasures, and to shape ourselves into both the people that we want to be and the leaders our community needs! That's why we work to ensure access to the process of theater-making for all of our community.
Our educational programming helps nurture self-confident, problem-solving citizens and grow community. We create supportive spaces for self-expression and self-reflection as well as to develop individuals’ abilities to think critically and feel empathetically. We also create an inviting community in which everyone feels valued and has the opportunity to practice collaboration and communication.
But this magic only happens when YOU come and enjoy a class with us. Here's your chance!

Open to all levels of experience, whether you are hoping to make some friends, challenge yourself with something new, or simply love performing... these classes are for you!
For Teens
Theater gives teens a chance to challenge themselves, take creative risks, and explore who they are and who they want to be. Through theater, teens express their individuality, develop skills for the future, and make life-long friends. At Verge Theater, we focus on creating an exciting and supportive process which invites teens to build compassionate community.
For Kids
At Verge Theater, we believe in the power of make-believe! We know that when we play together, we can learn together.Our kids' classes create a safe and encouraging environment for your children to explore, express themselves, and take creative risks. While participants learn about theater, they also develop social/emotional skills and friendships.
Verge in the Community
Verge Theater is more than a venue where art is performed. Verge Theater is a community!
Whether supporting teachers to bring theater into their classroom, or partnering with other non-profits to promote community and acceptance, we actively bring our programs outside of Verge's physical walls to include more people in Gallatin Valley and beyond.
