Information Just for Schools
We also have AHSM classes - Arts, Humanities, Science and Math - created with children and teachers in mind.
About School Performances:
All of our plays and programs have some to a lot of interaction with the audience. We want the children to get involved and experience theatre in at least a small way, opening doors to enjoying the performing arts for a lifetime. We are happy to report that many young lives have been touched in positive ways, from the child in Headstart who “found his voice," to the autistic young man in the 5th grade who opened up when he played his part, to the 9-year-old girl who told her mother, “I’m going to be smiling the whole day.” We love our job!
We also love to read. In our performances, we encourage the children to read and “play.”
It takes us 15-30 minutes to set up for and strike (tear down) after a performance. Microphones are not needed but are appreciated for Mime Loud & Clear; A to Zeus; and Big Steps. We don’t use microphones for the plays.
Special Pricing
To accommodate schools’ student populations, we have special prices for the same show to be performed twice at one school. The shows must be back-to-back, with the second show starting 15-30 minutes after the first one has ended. Our page, Children’s Shows, has show descriptions,
These plays & programs are $405.00 for two 45-minute performances (mileage may apply):
School Family Nights; School Carnivals:
We can teach workshops to go along with your Family Night themes. Parents and children might create mime skits in only a 20-min session; they might return home ready to practice projection. The point is they’re learning together. For school carnivals, we can provide wandering characters or short shows.
Residencies, workshops, and classes can be adjusted to fit your needs. Please contact us for a pdf catalog with detailed descriptions.
Teacher In-services. Not only do we have classes for children, we have classes for the teachers on incorporating (easy) theatre in the classroom to benefit the students.
Scheduling: When you schedule, whether by email or phone, we’ll need the following information:
