Education
Mirroring Writers Theatre's mission, the Education department reflects our commitment to the written word and the cultivation of young artists. WT Education’s multifaceted programs fall under four pillars: Onsite Creative Learning, Residency Programs, Student Matinees, and Touring Outreach.
Onsite Creative Learning
Writers Theatre offers a range of onsite learning opportunities for all ages, including:Writers Theatre Education creates residency programs working with young people in schools and community organizations to integrate literary and theatre arts, instill an appreciation of the arts and promote civic responsibility. WT Education currently offers:
Student Matinees
Every year Writers Theatre welcomes students from across Chicagoland into the theatre to experience award-winning professional theatre.
Touring Outreach
Currently on hold, WT’s Touring Outreach program reached over 83,000 young people from 2007-2020 through The MLK Project: The Fight for Civil Rights by Yolanda Androzzo.
WT Education also supports the Theatre’s Community Engagement programming.
"I continue to advocate for Writers Theatre's programs because of its positive impact to the children I work with and know that each time they come to Peirce only the best results are evident."
