Bridges: Building Critical Literacy

Neighborhood Bridges is Children Theatre Company's nationally recognized literacy program that empowers students to become animators of their own lives. Teaching artists use storytelling, theatre, dance, puppetry and creative writing to transform classrooms into communities where students think independently and work collectively. Recognized by the federal government's Department of Education as an effective model for arts education, CTC was awarded a grant to disseminate the program nationally. Fulton Theatre was privileged to be invited into the Neighborhood Bridges program. We now offer the program in three formats:
Neighborhood Bridges (grades 2-9)

• Weekly 1-2 hour sessions over a 12-week period that include creative writing, storytelling, theatre games and student created scenes, and group discussions that inspire critical thinking. Program culminates in a student created performance shared with the school community.

• Through play, storytelling, dance, creative drama, puppetry and music, Building Bridges promotes young children's social/emotional, language development and creative arts. This program also builds the professional skills of the early childhood educator.

• Weekly 1-2 hour sessions in schools and communty centers that include storytelling through drama, dance, music and puppetry.
