Lessons in Life and Language
APT’s educational programming inspires students to revel in language. We offer a variety of programs, both on the APT campus and in the classroom, that support educators with tools and techniques to foster students' exploration.
A.C.T. Camp
Acting for Classical Theatre: APT's exclusive weeklong summer camp experience for students 13-17.
Student Matinee Series
Each September and October, APT holds over a dozen performances of regular-season, mainstage productions, performed during the school day at our beautiful outdoor theater. And for the first time in 2009, APT offered four additional Student Matinee performances in the new indoor Touchstone Theatre.
Potency of Poetry
Potency of Poetry, our flagship education residency, invites students to confront language and discover what it offers them. This in-classroom program goes beyond "decoding" language to make it personal, purposeful, provocative and entertaining for the students.
Other Residencies
In addition to Potency of Poetry, APT offers a host of other workshops and residencies. From Shakespeare to creative dramatics, APT has a program to enrich your classroom.
