Your Gift Can
Change a Life!
Some kids, the stage is the way out.
T3 Triple Threat was founded on this belief — by a founder who was once one of those kids. Since 2013, we’ve trained disadvantaged and at-risk San Diego youth in voice, dance, and acting, in trauma-informed spaces with professional teaching artists. No child is ever turned away based on ability to pay. One mission: every kid deserves a place to shine — on stage and off.
San Diego just cut $11.8M in arts funding.
Rec centers — including the one T3 calls home — are losing hours. When the city pulls back, kids lose access. Your gift keeps the door open.

Hi, I'm Morie!
A “triple threat” is an industry label for someone who can sing, dance, and act. My childhood exposure to the arts gave me an outlet to thrive — and I needed one. My earliest years were spent in foster care. Even after I went to live with my biological father, “home” wasn’t a sure thing — for a stretch, we lived in a flat above his workplace, grateful for the roof. The arts didn’t just give me something to do. They gave me a place to belong, and eventually, they opened doors that took me across seven continents and hundreds of countries.
Partnering with the City of San Diego and gifted teaching artists, T3 provides premium enrichment programs for kids and teens — whether they’re absolute beginners or aspiring pros. No child is ever turned away based on ability to pay. My biggest joy? Paying it forward through T3 — to the next kid who needs an outlet, just like I did.
— Morie Williams, Founder & Director
