Our Mission: Building Community By Educating, Supporting And Creating Performing Artists
 

Luminary Arts is a not-for-profit with a mission to enrich lives by producing exceptional musical theatre, unique and quality performing arts training, and an unparalleled contribution to our local schools' California VAPA* program. It was founded in 2015 by a group of performance arts professionals who gathered in the outskirts of San Diego, CA in North County.

Luminary Arts aims to provide access to high-quality theatre training, production, and performances for entry-level, novice, and professionally trained actors, directors, and crew in a collaborative environment. We are dedicated to building community by educating, supporting, and creating performing artists with three core pillars:

School Programs: We bring professional teaching artists of music, theatre, and dance into the classroom and work side by side with your classroom teachers. We provide after-school enrichment programs, choral presentations, dance workshops, and drama classes -- all tailored to a school's needs. Please visit our School Programs page to learn how to bring a Luminary Arts curriculum to your school.

Studio Classes & Workshops: We provide instruction that supports emerging performing artists as they expand their skills and explore their potential in a non-competitive environment. Our professional teaching artists provide a unique experience for students and professionals at all levels. Schedule available here. 

Productions | Performances & Camps: We provide live performance opportunities in both educational and community settings. We are always striving to bring a level of professionalism to all our productions. Our young students are educated in all aspects of the production process.
