WT Education programs are aimed at exploring text, nurturing the creativity of young people and instilling appreciation of the arts for future generations. Through comprehensive programming in schools, on-site and through community-based initiatives, WT Education’s curriculum is designed to emphasize collaboration, cultivate self-expression, encourage imaginative inquiry and promote civic responsibility and social justice.
From this mission, WT Education programs fall under four pillars: Onsite Creative Learning, Residency Programs, Touring Outreach and Student Matinees. Each of these pillars reflect the distinct objectives of the department across multi-faceted programming. In conjunction with these pillars, WT Education also oversees professional Internships and Audience Engagement efforts.
