Through training conducted by Young Audiences staff, any teacher can learn dynamic arts-integration techniques in theater! The Arts for Learning curriculum that accompanies this session provides teachers with 9-12 hours of classroom lessons and activities designed to enhance classroom teaching. Through theater, students explore how a shift of perspective changes a story and then rewrite and perform a fairy tale from another character's point of view. Primary texts include The Three Little Pigs and The Cat and His Master. The From the Page to the Stage residency has been created to accompany the unit.
