The Arts Education Partnership reviewed multiple research studies identified within ArtsEdSearch — a national clearinghouse of rigorous arts education research — to better understand the role theatre education plays in student success. This resource explores how theatre education promotes identity development and growth, builds empathy and relationships, and empowers students to transform their understanding of their place in the world.

This report is part of AEP’s “Arts Counts” series describing the researched benefits of arts education.
