about
Our Mission
Renaissance Performing Arts Company was founded to fill the need for pre-professional and student-centered arts education in the greater Omaha area. Renaissance Performing Arts Company strives to provide quality industry-led arts education to students of all ages and levels in key theatrical disciplines, while fostering a lifelong love of the arts. The mission of Renaissance is to mentor and produce well-rounded artists who, upon completing programming, will have the necessary tools to be successful in any facet of the performing arts industry, as well as a strong sense of purpose, self, and awareness of the world around them.
Created by a team of three award-winning industry professionals, Renaissance Performing Arts Company strives to be a leader in creating multi-disciplinary artists. Renaissance believes that a well-rounded arts education leads to creating a well-rounded person. The team at Renaissance is made up of in-demand actors, directors, music directors, choreographers, and audition coaches working with educational and professional companies around the country and internationally. By employing currently working artists, Renaissance is committed to bringing the most up-to-date insight from the front lines of the industry to their students here at home.
Beyond the conservatory-style training, Renaissance is committed to the development of a young artist as a whole. Artists are individuals, and Renaissance believes in helping to nurture and grow the spirit of each young person who takes part in a Renaissance program.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
As directors, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all young artists who walk through the doors of any rehearsal room we are in. As artists, we believe that diversity and unique perspectives enrich our community and enhance the creative experience for everyone involved. We are also passionate advocates for rehearsal spaces designed to be accessible to individuals of all abilities, as we firmly believe the arts are for everyone and programs like Renaissance should be a place of engagement and creativity for any individual entering the space with the passion and willingness to learn and grow.
