ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM

We are pleased to continue Prime Stage Theatre's Adopt-a-School Program that uses theatre to help teachers address adolescent literacy.

The Adopt-a-School Program helps teachers generate ways of analyzing literature – “bringing literature to life” - to engage adolescents in enjoyable literary and theatrical experiences. Using TIE methods we show students and teachers alternative ways of connecting to characters and themes in literature and in Prime Stage productions.

We believe it is important for students to leave their classroom with questions – not answers – about the ways that characters interact and questions about human nature and the world around them. By understanding characters and themes – and questioning motives and behavior through role play and improvisation – Prime Stage will connect the lives carried out in literature to the everyday lives of students.
