FREE Workshops

In-Person or Virtual Workshops

As theatre professionals we have taken our skills and created practical workshops that can easily fit into most curriculums. These workshops were originally created to help support teachers and the Arts in schools during the pandemic and presented virtually to classes as far away as Monhegan! They were so successful they are now a regular part of our programming!

Now, we can teach the following workshops LIVE in your classroom as well as VIRTUALLY to schools at a distance.

Our workshops serve Grades 3 – 12.

We are currently scheduling classes for the winter. Below are descriptions of some of the workshops we’ve been teaching.
Classes are approximately one hour each. In addition to our offerings, if you have any topics or assignments coming up, we can tailor our teaching to help meet your needs.

We are offering our services FOR FREE because we genuinely want to find a way to serve our children and keep their creativity alive. If you are interested in learning more, EMAIL US or call us at 782-2211 and we’ll set up a time to chat and see how we can help.

Language Arts and communication skills as well as connecting kids to their bodies is our specialty. We teach with the philosophy that theatre skills are life skills. Children learn best by DOING. In the theatre, to ACT literally means TO DO.
