Rehearsal For Life is an organization dedicated to strengthening young people's social and emotional skills through dialogue, creativity, and performance. The private company is based in Jamaica Plain. Guided by the CASEL framework, its mission emphasizes empowering youth to build diverse, inclusive communities where all voices are respected, fostering creativity, empathy, respect, cooperation, and positive social change. The organization offers programs for educators, families, and students, including Urban Improv school residencies, assemblies, team-building workshops, curriculum resources with video modules addressing social-emotional topics, and original children’s musicals. For youth, key programs include the Freelance Players, an original musical theater program for ages 8-16 available during the school year and as a summer camp, and Youth Unscripted, a stipend-supported after-school program for high school students focused on improv, theater, visual arts, music, leadership, and social issues. Youth Unscripted is currently on hiatus for the 2025-2026 school year.
