Since our founding in 2015, we have served over 8,000+ youth and families through our programming, community partnerships and national performances. Our programs serve youth of color from infancy-high school. We have served international and national communities and partnered with schools, organizations, and institutions across the country. CFA has been recognized by American Theatre Magazine as a Thrive! Grant recipient and DCTV for its positive impact on the DC community. Our students have gone on to work for organizations such as Sesame Street Workshop, the Manhattan Theatre Club, Kokila Books, and the Miami Herald newspaper. With a record of job-readiness, career preparation, and cultural literacy, CFA is a force of good for the DMV arts community.
