Together they will name the existence of the isms of the world while facing the incomparable enemy that they find within themselves and each other. 

“It is relevant. It is necessary. It is urgent. Because it is now. It is what they are experiencing right now, that they want to talk about.” — Tiffany Fulson, TimeLine South Program Director

TimeLine South, now in its third year, is a unique arts program that provides teens a safe space for self-expression, creativity, and ensemble building. Teens have the opportunity to learn basic skills in theatre and performing arts from some of the most experienced and dynamic artists in the city, and explore topics with which they feel a strong curiosity and connection.
