Expose your students to professional theater created by women writers and directors, and pique their interest about an array of careers in the theater.
Students attend special matinee performances of WP’s
critically-acclaimed mainstage productions and receive classroom visits with a WP Teaching Artist.
In addition, each student receives a study guide, program,
and a post-show Q&A session with artists from the
production.
Integrate the work of a professional female playwright into your classroom and inspire your students to develop their own unique dramatic voices.
Students begin by reading and analyzing scenes written by dynamic, professional female playwrights that complement each classroom's curriculum. Inspired by the readings and informed about diverse dramatic conventions, students then write their own monologues and scenes. The residency culminates with an
in-class, book-in-hand reading of the students’ work.
Build an ensemble and inspire the next generation of artists, while engaging them as
playwrights, performers, and collaborators.
Your students star in a special presentation at an off-Broadway theater for an audience of classmates, parents, and educators. They explore various modes of theater making in the plays of female playwrights selected in advance by the WP Teaching Artist and Classroom Teacher. Then students adapt and
create their own short piece of theater to be presented at WP’s Julia Miles Theater. If desired, your class will also receive free tickets to a performance in WP’s mainstage matinee series.
Students present their play at WP's Julia Miles Theater.
