Summer Break Theatre/Sponsored by Austin Creative Alliance

Summer Break Theatre aims to engage in events that serve the overworked and under-resourced Austin area teaching community. Through productions and events that provide creative outlets and celebrate their work, SBT helps foster the mental health of teachers while raising funds that support them both inside and outside the classroom.

SBT’s key constituency is classroom K-12 public educators. Teachers are at immediate risk of decline due to burnout and being underpaid and under appreciated.. We in SBT have personally experienced the lack of morale both in and out of the classroom, and have seen its effect on our peers. We work to ameliorate this loss of morale by providing a space and means for them to receive public acclaim and personal satisfaction through productions, public community events, and celebrations centered on educators’ work; thereby promoting the self esteem of a group challenged by parents, administration, and politicians.
