Instructor, Dan Klarer, brings two decades of experience to these workshops. He recently spent time as an interim lecturer of acting at his alma mater, the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point, teaching movement, voice, scene study, and acting for camera. His full background in the performing arts gives him a unique perspective and he has brought that with him to our wonderful community here in Sturgeon Bay and greater Door County.

Thanks to the generous support of Bader Philanthropies, TAP is able to offer significant financial assistance to ensure these classes are accessible to participants of all income levels. This funding allows TAP to provide partial to full scholarships, removing financial barriers to participation.

"Support from Bader Philanthropies makes it possible for anyone—regardless of financial capacity—to take classes with us," said Jacob Janssen, Jackie & Steve Kane Artistic Director. "We believe theatre should be welcoming and accessible at every stage of life, and this support allows us to live that value in a very real way."
