Educational Workshops

Bring the theater to your classroom – or bring your classroom to us! Lantern teaching artists will lead your class in discussing the production process and acting out scenes, incorporating student ideas in discussions about symbols and other issues. Workshops, which can be tailored to fit your curriculum needs, include:

Acting and Directing Workshops
Ideal for drama and theater classes

Literature and Theater Workshops
Ideal for classes that have read the play they are coming to see

Speaking Shakespeare Workshops
Ideal for students who may not be studying Shakespeare in class

In-School Residencies

Lantern teaching artists visit your classroom for ten sessions to supplement your literature or drama program. A major goal of Illumination is to support the work of Philadelphia's teachers, and we work closely with teachers to design a program that best fits the classroom, scheduled classroom topics, and the personalities of students. This program is offered free of charge to Philadelphia public high schools with demonstrated financial need.

For more information, please contact Joshua Browns, Education Director, at 215.829.9002 x104 or jbrowns@lanterntheater.org.
