Community Engagement

Share the Adventure
Adventure Theatre’s community-engagement program, Share the Adventure, is committed to using theater as a way to engage and give back to the community. Through various partnerships, Adventure Theatre extends the experience of seeing a production by teaching young audience members about philanthropy, volunteerism and model citizenship.

Current Community Engagement Project: Adventure Theatre is participating in Project Linus Blanket for The Snowy Day. Details about this will be posted as they are available.

Past Community- Engagement events include:
GO, DOG. GO! - Dog Adoption Day, in partnership with the Montgomery County Humane Society;
YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN - blanket making, in partnership with Project Linus Blanket;
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN - a hat-and-mitten drive, in partnership with A Wider Circle;
HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON – a Crayon Recycling Project, in partnership with several schools, restaurants and the Children’s Inn at the National Institute of Health; and
STREGA NONA - a food drive, in partnership with a local chapter of Manna Food
