Student Involvement
We are always looking for ways to involve your students in our productions! Whether that is through assisting in the set up of our audience arrangement or a talk back session following the performance, there are always ways to enhance the student experience!
TESTIMONIALS
Theatre Prospero has performed for thousands of Albertan students over the last 18 years. Hear directly from some of the teachers whose schools we have had the pleasure of visiting:
"Bravo! All in all, this production made Shakespeare highly accessible for a Junior high audience. My students are now 'hooked on Shakespeare."
"All actors were professional and interacted well with the students. I was very impressed, as the music/drama teacher at the school."
"The kids were so engaged in the performance. Teachers were also interested. All who attended were amazed!"
"Our Grade Ones'were mesmerized during the play. They were really taken in by the live performance experience."
