Authors Alive
Classic literature comes to vivid life through plot and character analysis, scene study, and dramatic enactment! We unpack the works of Shakespeare and great American authors to deepen comprehension and help students integrate developing knowledge and ideas.
Improv Alive
Success in school and in life requires deft improvisation! We use the tools of our trade to develop real-world skills like problem-solving, collaboration, critical thinking and communication. This workshop focuses on building a strong and vibrant school culture.
Arts Alive
Behind the scenes of theatre artistry abounds! From make-up, masks and costumes to lighting, sound, and sets, we engage students in design and construction projects that tap their creativity and develop their fine arts and technical skills.
