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:
Every year Writers Theatre welcomes students from across Chicagoland into the theatre to experience award-winning professional theatre.
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."
