Education: Illumination
Our Barrymore Award-winning Illumination program engages local students in the world of theater and nurtures their artistic expression through three major programs: student matinee performances, outreach in area schools, and after school drama clubs. Student Matinees Bring your students to enjoy performances that will enrich your classroom curriculum! Your reservation includes discounted tickets, lesson plans and study guides, and post-show talkbacks with the cast and creative team.

Pricing Student tickets are $15 each. One free educator ticket is provided for each ten student tickets purchased. Lesson Plans Lesson plans include play/playwright information, thought-provoking questions, context and themes, and additional materials designed to aid teachers in planning show-related classroom activities. Lesson plans meet national and state standards in Reading, Writing, Speaking, Language Arts, and Theater Arts. Q&A All students will be invited to a post-show talk with the actors and director, giving them the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the performance.

Classroom Connections Lantern teaching artists visit your classroom for up to ten sessions to supplement your literature or drama program.

Our most popular education program!
Shakespeare Mini-Residencies Appropriate for both middle and high schools, classrooms participating in this annual program receive an eleven-lesson curriculum centered around the Lantern's annual Shakespeare production (A Midsummer Night's Dream for the 2010/11 season) 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 of the show and a post-show talkback with the cast. Full Residencies 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 complete 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. Residencies being offered for the 2010/11 season are Romeo and Juliet (9th grade), Julius Caesar (10th grade), and To Kill a Mockingbird (10th grade). Financial Aid Schools with demonstrated financial need may be eligible for price reductions, scholarships, and stipends to cover transportation costs. Please call for details.
