We teach playwriting and theatre in grades 3-12 as part of the school day, throughout San Diego County. Trained theatre professionals use a dynamic, interactive curriculum designed to support standards in English and Theatre, while supporting social emotional learning with trauma-informed, restorative practices.

Lessons can be adapted to support content areas and specific themes or styles (radio plays, poetry units, intergenerational projects, social justice). Programs typically culminate with professional actors performing students’ scripts. Learners at all levels enjoy success. Safe behind the mask of fiction, young people explore actions and their consequences.

Empathy and compassion are fostered as students gain confidence, greater connection to their peers, non-violent techniques for solving problems, essential communication skills, and knowledge of theatre.
