Atlas' City at Peace Summer Youth Employment Program has begun!
This week they brainstormed issues, topics, and concerns that are important to them and that they want to effect change. They also examined conditions of power and used the arts to explore personal relationships and experiences.

DDT, now in its 17th season, will present full-length contemporary ballet works on the Lang stage under the direction of Shawn Short.

Atlas's support of DDT allows us to grow tremendously with its box office, production, and marketing support. Atlas has been home to DDT for more than 16 years.

Congratulations to our 2023-2024 City at Peace cast!
The cast worked through our social justice and theater curriculum for an entire year! They earned community service hours, made lasting friendships, and learned about themselves and the world around them.
They wrote and performed an original musical theater performance that dealt with issues of homophobia, neurodiversity, and the ongoing struggle between parents and teenagers. We couldn't be more proud of this cast for their talent, tenacity, and courage!
The Summer Youth Employment Program at City at Peace begins this month! We're excited to start training with a new summer cohort!
