For Adults
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, and hands-on workshops at History Theatre and residencies in the community.
