KTA, or Klein Theatre Arts, is the cornerstone of The Klein’s education and outreach effort providing tuition-free instruction in music, dance, and drama to Bridgeport students in grades 7 through 12. Founded in 2013 and previously known as "After School at The Klein", this program now runs year round. It is comprised of 3 components: an Acting Course that meets 3 days each week, the Klein Dance Company (which has made over 20 public appearances since its founding in 2016), and a Technical Production course that provides instruction in basic stage lighting, audio, and set construction. Graduates of the course receive paid internships and work at Klein events alongside our union stagehands.
