Field Trip Workshops

These two, four, or seven-session residencies provide students additional context prior to and following the performance through the exploration of the production’s themes, character traits, and story structure. The workshops include an extended talkback following the performance and are highly interactive — allowing young people the opportunity to actively engage in the story as individual learners while working collectively with their peers as they delve into crucial, and developmentally appropriate ELA and Social/Emotional Learning topics.

As part of First Stage's Access for All program, our Theater in Education programs have a range of discounts available.

To reserve your Field Trip Package, please contact education@firststage.org or (414) 267-2978.
