Public School Residencies

Roadside Theater conducts public school theater residencies that help students to discover, celebrate, and perpetuate their history and culture, and to use this cultural foundation as a means to learn to think, speak, and write clearly.

The residency process assumes a direct connection of classroom work to the history and culture of the community. Student action rather than passive receipt of information is encouraged. Roadside and the classroom teacher act as guides, with students taking an equal measure of responsibility for the work. The involvement of community members in the classroom as teachers, audience, and resource is important.
