New Theatre’s Education Staged Readings are designed to support your classroom discussion, facilitate your students’ understanding of the plays and appreciation of the theatrical genre as well as expose them to the many and varied ways a dramatic text may be approached.
Each staged reading will be followed by an open forum, where your students can ask questions of directors and performers and participate in detailed discussion of the play’s themes, directorial choices, actors’ approaches and interpretations of character, and other pertinent subjects. These forums stimulate lively and engaging debate and provide a chance for interaction with students from other schools.
Tickets $10 each (1 free teacher per 10 students)
