SINGLE & MULTI-SESSION WORKSHOPS

Professional teaching artists will visit your classroom and present engaging workshops that promote literacy through connections between theatre, language arts and history.

  • CREATING STAGED PICTURES
  • Students will learn about the use of facial expression, body position and gesture to present tableaus outlining the beginning middle and end of a story in this popular interactive workshop.

  • INTRODUCTION TO A CLASSIC PLAY
  • Choose a play from the Will & Company roster: Robin Hood, The Odyssey, Don Quixote, A Christmas Carol or Pinnochio. A costumed actor will introduce the story, characters, themes and historical time period in an interactive introduction to a classic tale.

  • POST-SHOW WORKSHOPS
  • Following a performance of a Will & Company classic adaptation, a costumed actor will visit a classroom for an in-depth session highlighting the creation of the adaptation, from acting, directing, and costuming and offers students an opportunity to get on their feet to try out acting for themselves.
