Each of these productions is grade level specific and designed
with a particular grade's curriculum in mind. The production
experience consists of a preparatory classroom workshop, a live
performance and a production guide.
The preparatory classroom workshop, or "prep", is a unique opportunity for students
to gain additional value from the experience. During the "prep",
students are given the chance to explore the content and themes
of the performance as well as relevant academic material with
one of the actors in the production.
Our performances are designed as non-traditional, intimate productions
which feature a variety of stories from famous fairy tales to original
works and often involve elements of different theatrical styles. Performances are
followed by a short Q&A session.
The Production Guide is a resource for
teachers which includes a summary of the production, an outline
of the preparatory workshop, vocabulary, suggested activities and
other relevant information. At the rear of each guide, a listing
of targeted NYS learning standards is available.
