Workshops can be tailor made for each school/organization
across a variety of disciplines and approaches. Sessions can range from
the myriad of social issues; race, stereotyping, family history, etc., to
a variety of theater disciplines; writing, acting, and directing. Classes/sessions
can range from 30 to 90 minutes, to a full day of workshops, to a weeks
residency. It is generally best to conduct workshops after having presented
the play. Sessions can then be linked directly to the content of the show
and can provoke more spirited discussion and participation.
