Customized Residencies

Bring the gift of theatre to your school by providing students with classroom opportunities to dive into acting, singing, and dancing during the day! Work with our professionals to develop a curriculum that works into your own. Our residencies help your classroom develop team building skills, communication and listening skills, storytelling techniques, and self-esteem.

We recommend:

• Free planning consultation with Emerald City professionals to determine schedule and material to be covered.
• A minimum of 6 hours for a short-term residency.
• A minimum of 12 hours for a long-term residency (a final presentation included.)
• Choosing from a variety of expertise in singing, storytelling, acting, dancing and special needs classes to supplement your curriculum.
• Residencies can serve one classroom or multiple classrooms.
