Student outreach is a major component of what we do. We believe that the experience of live theatre can inspire people to engage more fully in the world, and aim to provide rich, challenging and nurturing theatrical encounters to a large and diverse high school and university student population.
Exploring socio-political, global and community issues through theatre is a uniquely powerful and engaging approach to relevant topics and can provide an excellent springboard to classroom discussion. To initiate dialogue, all student groups are invited to join cast members, and very often subject-matter experts, in post-show talkback sessions after every student matinee.
For each of our productions, we provide a comprehensive Study Guide, complete with background information on the play and its subject matter along with thoughtful questions and activities for pre- and post-show discussions.
One of the greatest barriers to youth access to theatre is cost. We offer affordable reduced rates for our student matinees and are committed to accessibility for all students.
In addition to our production-specific educational programming, we are available for in-class theatre workshops. Please contact us to learn more about our education initiatives.
