EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Part of our mission is to share classic works of literature with area young people (and their teachers) through education enrichment opportunities.

Brave New World Theatre Workshop

Last September the first Brave New World Theatre Workshop was held at Centre Stage in downtown Greenville. Teachers who attended this free workshop participated in various seminars, got acquainted with newfound friends over dinner at a downtown eatery, attended an evening production of Tempest, and finished the evening by participating in a post-production discussion with three local respondents. Drama and English teachers who attended were able to sharpen their teaching skills at this provocative and inspirational workshop and make valuable contacts for future endeavors. Here’s what one attendee said about last year’s workshop: “Thank you for offering this workshop. The program from start to finish was outstanding; I cannot remember any other workshop that was more helpful and relevant.”

Talkbacks

Join some of the cast and creative team for fun-filled, post-production discussions after each Monday performance. The talkbacks usually last about about 20 minutes and give the audience members opportunity to ask the actors and designers questions about the production.

Cuttings and Play Kits

If you like what you saw and would like to put a similar production on the boards, get information about cuttings and play kits available for purchase. Contact us.
