Reader’s Theater – A Companion Workshop for The Nutcracker (Recommended Grades 2-5)

Gaillard Center teaching artist Simone Liberty will visit the Outdoor Classroom for an arts-integrated workshop that corresponds with the educational performance of The Nutcracker.

This workshop, titled Reader’s Theater, will allow students an opportunity to learn a bit about the history of The Nutcracker story, evaluate and critique key literary elements that enhance and deepen meaning within and across texts, act in a scene with a written script, interpret and evaluate live performances as an active audience member, and connect deeper to the upcoming performance at the Gaillard.

This workshop is best suited for students in grades 2-5.
