In light of COVID-19 developments and for everyone’s health and safety, we have decided to cancel our Banned in Boston fundraising event on April 16th at the House of Blues – a first since the show’s inception in 1996 – and to take it virtual! Stay tuned for creative and uplifting content, including video clips of the key elements of our Urban Improv model, so you can see the impact of our work now and in the future.
This cancellation is particularly challenging for us as the $750,000 raised at Banned enables us to deliver our impactful programming, accounting for more than half of our annual operating budget. We hope you will stand with us and our students and make a generous donation now. Your help is needed now more than ever.
WELCOME TO REHEARSAL FOR LIFE
Rehearsal for Life, through the programming of the Freelance Players and Urban Improv, uses theater as a vehicle for social change, empowering young people through creativity, dialogue and performance. We have proudly served over 80,000 young people in Boston and beyond with our dynamic, interactive social and emotional learning programs.
OUR PROGRAMS
Urban Improv is an interactive program for young people that uses structured improvisational theater workshops to strengthen social and emotional (SEL) skills and help students deal creatively with real-life challenges through dialogue and performance.
The Freelance Players engages youth in the creation and performance of original musical theater for audiences of all ages, while fostering imagination, self-expression and mutual respect in young people.
