“Since launching its new curriculum, local organizations have been calling upon the expertise of Karamu staff to provide customized arts education programming for their constituents and Karamu is designing original curriculums, delivered on- or off-site, for those community partners. These specialized programs include dance, theatre, and/or music, incorporate additional curriculum themes - such as bullying or literacy - as requested, and fill a significant gap in the area for high quality arts instruction. In addition, Karamu provides on-site after-school and weekend dance, theatre, and music classes for learners of all ages, as well as a comprehensive summer arts program. In keeping with Karamu's high theatrical standard and tradition, the 2016-17 and 2017-18 theatre seasons will continue to incorporate thought-provoking and culturally relevant content. The 2017-18 season will be selected in spring 2017, and will feature two musicals and two social justice themed productions. In addition, Karamu is currently renovating the Jelliffe and Arena Theatres, creating a new, spectacular home for Karamu's productions. Also, Karamu recently launched an initiative to make theatre events more accessible to residents of the low-income Fairfax neighborhood where Karamu is located: every Fairfax resident with an Ohio Direction Card (food assistance) and valid identification may purchase up to 4 $5 tickets per production.”
