EDUCATOR RESOURCES
We’re your supporting cast, providing free study guides and other resources to integrate live theater easily into your curriculum!
Setting the stage for arts education success.
As a theatre, we know what community and connections can do to help people and organizations when they need it. Below you can find various resources for local support in arts education, grants for theatre arts education programs, books, anti-racism resources, and more.
We see our position as educator support for classroom teachers. The partnership between our teaching artists and school administration is a balance between what each school needs, and what we are able to provide. If you find that there are further resources you would like to see from us, please reach out to our Director of Education at (513) 421-3555 x3207.
