Lantern teaching artists visit your classroom to supplement your literature or drama program. Our residencies are unique in that the primary focus is to support student learning using the tools and techniques of theater to enhance already-assigned curricula, rather than seeking to increase students' facility or appreciation of the theatrical art form itself. We will work closely with you to design a program that best fits your classroom, scheduled classroom topics, and the personalities of your students.
Shakespeare Mini-Residency Program Appropriate for middle and high schools, classrooms participating in this annual program receive an eleven-lesson curriculum centered on the Lantern's annual Shakespeare production and four classroom visits from a team of two Lantern teaching artists. The residency culminates in a visit to the Lantern to see a student matinee performance and a post-show talkback with the education director and members of the cast. Our Shakespeare production for the 2013/14 season is Julius Caesar. Full Residency Program Our residency program is built around curricular material from the recommended Pennsylvania state curriculum and can be adapted to best accommodate grade level. Participating schools receive a copy of the full ten-lesson residency curriculum and ten visits from a team of two Lantern teaching artists. Residencies conclude with an in-school performance, created and performed by your students. Existing residencies being offered for the 2013/14 season are Romeo and Juliet for 9th graders, and Julius Caesar and To Kill a Mockingbird for 10th graders. Custom-Designed Programs We are happy to custom-design a residency for any topic, subject, or grade level. Financial Aid Schools with demonstrated financial need may be eligible for price reductions, scholarships, and stipends to cover transportation costs. For More Information
