In-School Residences - Long Wharf Theatre

Bring Long Wharf Theatre into your school.

We create an environment of discovery where students are able to explore the issues surrounding their personal lives as well as their placement in local and global communities.

OBJECTIVES:

To empower students to seek self-directed learning opportunities.
To integrate arts technique into general classroom curricula.
To engage students and allow them to make a reciprocal investment in the learning process.
