Teach Through Theatre
Do you need a new way to inspire students? Teach literacy? History? Arts? Then join the audience for an actOUT! experience you and your students won't soon forget!
ActOUT! produces 4-6 plays per year incorporating Waterloo Region children and youth. Our productions are an affordable way to expose students to the performance arts. You class may even be supporting a classmate involved in the production!
ActOUT! School Matinees
Help your students bring literacy to life!
Our shows:
we usually have a 30-40 minutes long production for younger children in the spring
other productions, musicals or advanced actor plays, are typically 60-90 minutes depending on the show
are performed in accessible theatres
are enacted solely by children and youth
provide a full live theatrical experience (fully costumed, sets, props, etc.)
offer affordable reduced rate tickets for schools and homeschooling groups - Teachers attend free!
provide Curriculum Connections to teachers for exploration of related topics connected to the performance. Science, Math, Music, Art, and Social Studies are all involved in a Curriculum Connection.
Provide performances in December, February, April, May and June
ActOUT provides a post-show talk | Q&A session with our actors and artistic team. An opportunity for school audiences to provide comments, understand the acting process, and possibly be inspired to explore the arts themselves.
A challenge both for our actors and your students to build their public speaking skills by having to think on the spot.
