Theatre-literacy
connection
Theater has demonstrated its effectiveness as a strategy to teach reading, speaking and listening skills, focus, discipline, teamwork and patience - as well as any sport.
We're passionate about connecting theatre with literacy and have developed a comprehensive education program, including field trips, teacher workshops, and our highly recognized Literacy in ACTion program, all designed to help build that bridge.
