Extend the Experience: Leopoldstadt Post-Show Creative Workshops for Adults

Leopoldstadt doesn't end when the lights come up. Tom Stoppard opens us to big questions about memory, family and loss — and the performance captivates audience's hearts just as much as our minds.

So, we invite you to keep going. In this hands-on workshop we'll revisit passages from the script, respond through drawing, painting or collage then land with reflective writing. No art experience needed as you engage creatively with what you saw onstage.

 In partnership with Jewish Studio Project.


Upcoming Extend the Experience Workshops for Leopoldstadt:

The Jewish Studio Process

The Jewish Studio Process builds creative capacity by bringing together text investigation and creating with art materials. You’ll be guided through each step below: 

Step 1: Inquiry

Step 2: Intention

Step 3: Creative Exploration

Explore your creativity through the art materials provided including watercolors, drawing, collage, and more! The goal of this step is to play and be creative in response to your inquiry and intention.

Step 4: Reflection
