Our annual raffle benefit is a great way to support arts education in pensacola - keeping art in your departure

Arts education is a critical component of our mission at Pensacola Little Theatre. While not every child goes on to pursue Broadway or acting full-time, the fundamental skillset learned by being exposed to theatre is carried with our students throughout their lives: traits like self-confidence, public speaking, sense of differing viewpoints and perspective, teamwork, collaboration, and the ability to put yourself in other people’s shoes to think outside the box.
