The Theatre School is proud to offer free and public Teacher Guides for all of our performances in the Chicago Playworks for Families and Young Audiences series.
Our dramaturgy team works with the faculty and staff to design and create Teacher Guides around both state and national learning standards for the fine arts, as well as other subjects like math, science, and social studies. Our Teacher Guides highlight curriculum connections, learning goals, and also provide pre and post-show activities, discussion topics, and creative assignments for use in the classroom or at home!
Teacher Guides are available to anyone upon request and can also be accessed on this page. If you have any questions about our season or resources for teachers, please contact Laura Rice, Group Sales Representative, 312.922.1999.
