Each Sunday, these brave competitors will face off in epic challenges designed to test their wits, stamina, and creativity. But there's more than just glory on the line—each contestant is fighting for a cause close to their heart.

Every contestant on Drama Island is proudly representing a local arts organization, and they need your help to make a difference!
