RESIDENCIES

As part of our Education Outreach, we will design a series of classes to fit your needs, and explore areas of theatre, or other disciplines, by using drama techniques. Residencies can range from a single meeting to multiple weeks to an entire school year. The classes can take place during the school day or as an after-school or community-based drama enrichment program.

South Carolina Children's Theatre teaching artists can provide instruction in a one-day or repeating session of classes. Classes can end in an informal performance or be process-based. Residencies can enhance your core curriculum while delving into theatre concepts.

PARTNERSHIP RESIDENCIES

Some organizations may elect to charge their students for the programming and then split the income with South Carolina Children's Theatre. In this instance, please refer to the list of available Residencies and their costs and determine if those costs fit within the range of other programs you offer. The organization will be responsible for the full administration of the program and South Carolina Children's Theatre will be responsible for class planning and instruction.
