In 1992, Dramatic Results was founded on the belief that the transformative power of the arts to inspire and educate. It has grown from a local initiative to a nationally recognized leader, reaching over 37,000 students and nearly 500 educators with opportunities to explore, create, and learn. Our programs not only engage diverse learners and reignite curiosity but also improve academics. 

Over 75% of our students outperform peers in math, engineering, arts, creativity, and perseverance (2020 third party evaluation report). Our trauma-informed teaching approach cultivates supportive spaces, which is especially critical for students facing challenging life circumstances and attending schools in low-income areas where resources are scarce and traditional teaching methods dominate. By offering a curriculum designed to build confidence in problem-solving and self-expression, we redefine the learning experience for diverse learners, which is critical for students for whom the conventional education system fails to engage effectively. 

Testimonials

"The sense of pride our students have developed while creating their self-portraits is priceless. They have not only a pride in the work they have created but also a sense of pride in themselves. Dramatic Results has shown my students that they all have value and deserve to be seen!" - Ms. Alonzo, 4th grade teacher

"In school I'd get feedback on things and I'd get upset when they'd tell me to change what I was doing. But the way they talked about feedback in the [Dramatic Results] program made me realize that it's good to make changes and try different things." - 6th grade student
