This residency will be available virtually after October, 2020 for the 2020-2021 school year.

Our team of teaching artists will visit your school each day for one week leading your students in the discovery of classic and contemporary plays through the process of rehearsal and performance. The team can teach all day for numerous classes in various disciplines or for an abbreviated day of fewer classes.

For students approaching these texts for the first or repeated times, Rep on the Road introduces and immerses young scholars and performers in the process and skills used to make the words and the literary terms they study in class come to life.  This workshop is an ideal way to enliven and enhance a Literature, Arts, Speech, English, History, or Drama class. We can customize the program content based on what you are exploring in any class or discipline or you can choose from the texts we have prepared. Daily schedules correspond to teachers’ schedules within each school—whether on block or regular schedule (including daily planning time).
NOTE: Each residency is custom designed with educators to meet students’ needs on a school-specific basis and includes 1-2 advance planning sessions.
