Build with Sandcastle!
Sandcastle uses theater to build confidence, creativity, collaboration, for young artists of all ages to tell their own stories.
Your generosity helps sustain access to our Flexible Pricing Program and New Play Development workshops/productions.
20% of our drama families use sliding scale financial aid, allowing everyone to participate, no questions asked.
Thank you so much for helping us to build the Sandcastle community with access to New Play Development & Education Programs in 2026 and for years to come.
All donations are tax-deductible via Fractured Atlas and support access to arts education.
THANK YOU to all who joined us for…
Emerging Voices 2026 @ Marin School of the Arts at Novato High School.
A production of NEW short plays by Marin School of the Arts writers, performed by an ensemble of professional actors.
Over the course of 6 months, students receive coaching, feedback, and support to develop their new plays, collaborate with professional theatre artists, and bring their plays to life in a one-night only performance.
Emerging Voices 2027 is scheduled for Saturday, March 20 - Sunday, March 21.

SUPPORT ARTS ACCESS
Sandcastle welcomes all families to our programs, regardless of ability to pay. Learn more about our Flexible Pricing Program. Your funds directly support Arts Education opportunities for youth that build confidence, creativity, and collaboration skills.
Hear from one of our Flexible Pricing families: "Sandcastle Theater Company has made a huge impact on our sons. The program tapped into [our older son's] creativity, problem solving skills, and instilled in him a higher self confidence and served as an outlet for his anxiety. During these chaotic and unsettling times in our community and abroad, Sandcastle provides a safe haven of safety and inclusion."
