TNT Theatre is part of the Outreach Program at Simmons which is founded on the belief that performing arts is an essential component to a rich and excellent education. Therefore, it is the mission of TNT to provide young, area school children with high-quality, theatrical experiences. Currently, the Simmons Theatre Outreach Program is one of the only outreach programs in the state sponsored by a public school.
