Through our Classroom Connections program, Lantern teaching artists visit your classroom for up to ten sessions 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.
Our most popular education program!
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 (Romeo and Juliet for the 2011/12 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 Romeo and Juliet and a post-show talkback with the education director and members of the cast. "Lantern Theater Company is the city's top presenter of Shakespeare's work." –TheaterMania.com 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. Existing residencies being offered for the 2011/12 season are Julius Caesar and To Kill a Mockingbird, both designed for 10th grade classrooms. 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.
