TheatreWorks for Schools
We bring the most innovative, applicable, and powerful arts education resources to Bay Area schools. The wisdom of teaching core curriculum through an art form is proven to be a fantastic way to address all learning styles—it’s fun, active, and opens profound analytical connections in your students.
"My husband and I believe strongly that arts education is essential for building innovative thinkers who will be our nation’s leaders of tomorrow."
—First Lady Michelle Obama.

Young Playwrights Project
Write On! The Young Playwrights Project pairs Bay Area high school students with professional playwrights for two months to learn the craft of dramatic writing. The project then culminates in an awesome night of final performances! Please join us for an evening of new works written by the next generation of playwrights.
Children's Healing Project
Each year TheatreWorks continues to bring joy and laughter to patients at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. Throughout the school year, two gifted Teaching Artists visit the hospital and serve patients and their siblings in elementary, middle, and high school.
