TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM

Local Theater Company presents educational opportunities to middle and high school students through its LocalWRITES literacy/playwriting program. The Teacher Training Program is a three-hour workshop offered twice annually that allows us to share our techniques with teaching artists, and consider teaching artists for lead, associate and apprentice educator positions in our LocalWRITES classes.
