Elementary School Outreach Program
Studies
demonstrate that theatre, when introduced into children’s lives, is a
powerful way to engage and excite
them in a learning environment. Theatre enhances self-esteem, teaches
discipline, extends communication skills, broadens cultural horizons
and challenges young people to think more comprehensively about the world
in which they live.
A GLT On Tour in-school
performance is an affordable, timely and effective learning tool.
Each script is chosen to align with SC
curriculum standards especially in the area of creative dramatics. We
ensure that every audience enjoys the appropriate experience for their
developmental level.
A GLT On Tour in-school
performance includes the following:
- Study Guides that include theatrical
learning strategies for students to build critical thinking skills
are provided to educators a few weeks before the performance.
- Classroom activities to enhance the
students’ theatre-going experience are offered as a supplement
to the performance.
- Performers will lead discussions with
students after each performance.
- Each performance runs approximately
45 minutes allowing ample time for post performance discussions
