The SFArtsED Players is a musical theater company that reflects San Francisco in all its diversity. Hailing from the neighborhoods of the City and from around the bay, the SFArtsED Players is made up of 54 theater performers who come from SFArtsED's performing arts residencies as well as form the organization's summer arts intensive, called SFArtsED Summer, held each year at School District sites. The young performers are selected for their talent, enthusiasm and commitment for the musical theater form. They work with directors of the company 10 hours each week, training as "triple threats" - actors, singers, dancers - and rehearsing for their performances. The company performs original musicals and revues as well as Broadway classics. This year's troupe represents 32 different Bay Area schools, including 18 public schools.
