The In School Tour for the Fall of 2010 will be Belch, Bottom & the Boys, an exploration of Shakespearean clowns, written and directed by Luke Dennis. This will be in conjunction with our 2010-11 production of Twelfth Night which opens January 27, 2011.
Together, the Human Race and the Muse Machine collaborated on Theatre in Context to develop theatre experiences for students, both in the school and as part of the regular audience of a mainstage performance of The Human Race. We work to develop teacher development tools and student study materials that help to tie the theatre experiences directly to the curriculum.
