Energize your staff with a visit from an
inspiring drama teacher! Many of the games
actors use to get to know one another and
prepare for being on stage may be used very
effectively in the learning environment.
Your staff will laugh together, learn interesting
things about one another, and come away
with innovative new ways to connect with
their students.
THEATRE IN THE CLASSROOM
Our research shows that teachers prefer
professional development that offers brand
new material, taught by experienced professionals,
and is ongoing (not a one-time event).
We have spent years cultivating activities
that are unique, and have immediate, practical
use in the classroom. The beauty of this
program is that most of the activities we
present do not take additional class time.
They are substituted for lessons that are
less experiential by design.
“Theatre in the Classroom,”
offers a way to integrate the arts into
the learning environment without spending
additional school funds—or taking
away from valuable class time.
We offer three areas of exploration (listed
below):
• Dramatic Classroom Management!
• Dramatic Literacy Lessons!
• Dramatic Lessons for Science, Social
Studies and History!
Invite a Young Players teaching artist
to your school to give one, two, or all
three workshops on professional development
days throughout the year.
Delivered directly to your school at an
extremely affordable rate:
*$155 per 1 ½ hour workshop
*$229 per 3 hour workshop (recommended)
*For groups of up to thirty. A larger staff
would require an additional instructor.

Not Your Ordinary PD Day!
Below are some photos from a workshop we gave for Portland Public Schools, for the Artsplash Program. Teachers remarked that it was the best professional development day they'd ever experienced. All of our PD offerings are interactive and engaging, no lectures or power-point presentations! Teachers participate in the very activities they will share with their students, turning everyday curriculum into exciting dramatic lessons!
