Play Guides
Explore and gain insights into a production beyond the actual performance with our Play Guides!
As a teacher, use and adapt suggested activities and lessons posted below in your classes before or after viewing the performance. As a parent, draw on some activities to enhance your child’s theatre experience. As a patron at large, stimulate your own exploration and gain a new insight into the production.
