Making Light Productions is Tallahassee’s comprehensive, inclusive arts education center for children, teens, and adults. Since 2016, students of all abilities have learned acting, musical theatre, music, dance, visual art, film, costuming, stagecraft, and technical theatre under one roof.
Our Acting and Musical Theatre classes culminate in fully licensed, fully produced shows with costumes, scenery, lighting, sound, props, choreography, music direction, and technical rehearsals. Students can also receive private instruction and explore the creative, technical, and production work involved in making theatre.​
“MLP ticks all of those boxes for me. Nice humans doing fun, artistic things — you can’t beat it.
You know you work at a great place when you're excited for vacation to end so you can go back to work!”
