Climb Theatre

Climb Theatre Youth Centered, Intentionally Intersectional, Arts Integrated Social Emotional Learning CLIMB’s work is not only entertaining, it is educational.

CLIMB Theatre, located in Inver Grove Heights (a suburb of Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN), is a nationally recognized nonprofit company that has provided programming to K-12 schools since 1975. CLIMB’s theatre artists write, produce and present plays and drama classes on topics like bullying, self-control, respect, friendship, acceptance of differences, methamphetamine-use prevention, and the environme

nt. Independent research done on our programs show that young people learn, and may change their thinking and even their behavior, because of us. CLIMB’s mission is to create and perform plays, classes, and other creative works that inspire and propel people - especially young people - toward actions that benefit themselves, each other, and the community.
