At The Heart

At the heart of the theatrical scene pulses Kan YaMa Kan Center - A greenhouse where talents flourish free from the constraints of the outside world. Since 2009, we believe every person has a story worth telling and a talent waiting to be discovered. In our safe space, masks fall away, and spirits are liberated; where we create more than just actors - we nurture a generation of creators who leave their mark on local theater history.
