For Schools and Educators
Fulton Theatre brings the theatre arts to students through productions and artists-in-the-classroom workshops and residencies. Fulton presents special School Day Matinees during school hours. We provide study guides and post-show discussions as requested, as well as pre- and post-show workshops. Bridges is a comprehensive critical literacy program offered in three formats: Neighborhood Bridges (grades 2-9), Building Bridges (ages 3-6) and Afterschool Bridges (grades 1-8). Bridges employs storytelling, creative drama, dance, music and puppetry to transform young people into storytellers of their own lives. The Pennsylvania High School Drama Festival is a day of 30-minute high-school performances on the historic Fulton Theatre stage with adjudication and pre-festival workshops by Fulton teaching artists at participating schools. A one hour interactive Fulton Theatre Tour helps students to understand the process to create theatre and inspires them to be engaged theatre participants!
