Hello All! Due to COVID-19, we have had to shut our doors for the next month, whilst we are in the middle of show season. Since we are a non-profit, we live month to month. This pandemic puts us in a dire situation.

Hello! Our names are Victoria and Daniel Watson and we run The Acting Studio and RAISE Repertory Theatre. Through these theaters, we teach and run the RAISE method. The RAISE method is the idea that everyone deserves the chance to learn and perform. At the beginning of every season, we present the show, ask the students what parts they want and then cast them from there. For example, during this year's production of Into The Woods, we had a total of ten casts because we feel like everyone deserves a chance to be a lead and be on the stage. We have found that the other students will happily fill in the other parts because they want their friends to succeed. This way, everyone learns how to perform as a lead and as a member of the ensemble. However, due to COVID-19, we have had to shut our doors for the time being to contain the pandemic. Because most of our income comes from our show season, we have had to ask our friends and patrons for help in keeping our doors open. Being a non-profit, we live month to month, so we could use all the help we could get in this time or the situation could turn dire. If you find us in your thoughts, please donate what you can and help us persevere in this trying time. We love you all and hope to hear from you soon.
