Mission Statement
Builders will provide children of every level and skill an opportunity to learn and grow through acting, music, dance, and other artistic disciplines while creating high quality productions.  ​
Vision Statement
The strength of our community is measured, in part, by its ability to meet the needs of its young people. We believe that every child deserves access to an opportunity that nurtures theatrical talents and their enthusiasm for the arts. ​We celebrate the creativity of the youth, volunteers, and staff that bring each production to life, and we seek to mentor, support, and empower their voices.

The Guild Builders Program
Guild Builders was chosen as a reflection of part of its design: to build the Actors Guild organization.  Through participation in the Guild Builders program, students and their families are introduced to the Actors Guild facility; interact with Guild members and directors who volunteer as instructors; participants become informed about upcoming productions; receive information about membership, auditions, and other volunteer opportunities at the Actors Guild; and are given an opportunity to learn about and participate in their local community theater. Building the Actors Guild through support, growth, and community awareness occur because of this educational program. 

The foundation of Guild Builders is the belief that children learn best about theater arts by participating in hands-on activities. Workshops will be led by staff members, guest instructors, and professional artists to educate participants in multi- art disciplines.   

​Guild Builders touches the community beyond the students who participate each year. Inclusion of community groups at the final dress rehearsal, workshops, community events, and business support and donations for production campaigns extend the program into the community. Finally, the reduced ticket prices encourage many families with young children and first-time patrons to attend a performance at the Actors Guild.
