Abstract
Theatre Arts Group (TAG) seeks to provide opportunities for creative, artistic expression to underserved students of the Columbus area through theatre experiences, theatre education, and mentorship. We mentor and teach 20-25 students at a local high school, Columbus North International School, performing a show, putting on open mic nights, and taking them to local performances. Additionally, we began new programming in an elementary school, Hubbard Mastery School, teaching theater to 48 third grade children.
