For Schools

History Theatre offers unique education and enrichment opportunities for learners of all ages beyond the shows on our stage. Our programs use the art of theatre to let learners explore and enjoy topics in history and current social issues, as well as discover the power of their own voices and stories through engaging live performances on History Theatre’s stage, interactive plays in schools, and hands-on workshops in the classrooms.

Thank You - Seats to Stage Residency

 

History Theatre’s Seats to Stage capstone event featured work developed through artist residencies at four St Paul high schools led by History Theatre teaching artists and performed by the high school students. Many thanks to the Minnesota State Arts Board for their support of this program.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Workshops in Your School

History Theatre believes there’s more to history than what students read in books. Young people make history every day: their own history. To help students explore this idea we’ve created the Seats to Stage Residency program.

When you engage the Seats to Stage Residency you can expect:

  • Experienced, professional teaching artists lead your students through a proven curriculum.
    For the spring session of Seats to Stage, the roster of teaching artists includes Shá Cage, Hope Cervantes, Shanan Custer, Paul de Cordova, Annie Enneking, Laura Esping, Ellen Fenster, Brian Grandison, Taj Ruler, Eric Webster, and Emily Zimmer
  • Students will produce poems, narratives, monologues and scenes that explore and express their personal history
  • An 8-session residency will focus primarily on writing and a 12-session residency will layer in acting instruction
  • All sessions will be 45 minutes to an hour depending on your schedule

Pricing:

For up to 15 students:

  • 8 Sessions – $750
  • 12 Sessions – $1,000

For 15 to 30 students:

  • 8 Sessions – $1,500
  • 12 Sessions – $2,000
