Educators - Overview

Creating excitement in the minds of students and educators.

Dallas Children's Theater brings the performing arts into the physical realm, both on stage and using a variety of educational methods. We also offer another dimension to the learning process, helping children explore their individual creativity in an enriching and engaging way.

Residencies

Using our successful multi-sensory approach to learning, our artists will work with students to bring classroom curriculum to life. Curtains Up on Reading is a drama residency designed to help your students strengthen their skills in a targeted area. Using literature, stories and acting, participants are able to embody their subject in a new and different way and ultimately tap into a fresh approach to a subject with which they have previously struggled.
