Launched in 2004 with the world premiere children’s
holiday musical Colors of Love, the Tippy Toes Arts
Program (TTA) uses
the magic of theatre to teach young children ages 3 to 10 the life lessons
they may not be getting at home. From appropriate manners and honesty
to giving and accepting an apology, our children are often missing these
lessons in their daily lives. TTA creates and presents production specifically
for young children. When the lights go down, the effect is dazzling.
You can feel the electricity in the room and their children are riveted
by the performance on stage. We provide their programs at a reduced cost
to schools and daycare centers through the generous support of corporate
and individual donors.
In addition to Colors of Love,
which will return this December for another two-week run, YEA is thrilled to announce our first three-show TTA season wth the inclusion of the Anywhere Everywhere Stories in October and Jeremy and the Lie this Spring.
Jeremy and the Lie is written
and directed by YEA Alum Sharisa Whatley and features several YEA alumni.
Jeremy was the debut performance in YEA's new home theatre in East Point.
During the three-week run (the longest YEA run in more than 5 years)
thousands of children had the opportunity to experience the magic of
theatre and learn a valuable lesson about honesty and the power of the
truth. Jeremy and the Lie returns this April for its first re-mount since the premiere production. We look forward to entertaining thousands more young people this time around.
