PRODUCTIONS - STC Ed’s 2010 season will entertain and delight you - NEXT UP IN TERM 3:
In Term 3, terrible twins cause trouble in Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors
performed by STC’s vibrant ensemble of actors, The Residents. A fantastic introduction to Shakespeare, this rollicking comedy of mistaken identity will delight and engage audiences from Years 7 to 10.
The newest addition to STC Ed’s theatrical offerings is Actor On A Box, a series of intimate theatrical shows imagined for children 3 years old and up. Mix together one fine actor, a great yarn and a whole lot of fun and you’ve got the perfect first taste of theatre for our youngest audience. We have one more great story to tell – in the Term 3 holidays, Tony Mitton’s The Red and White Spotted Handkerchief. Perfect school holiday entertainment.
SCHOOLS DAYS – don’t forget, every main stage production has a special Schools Day performance which features a full day of exploration into the world of the play and the artists’ process. Check out the 2010 Schools Day tab for season dates.
TEACHER WORKSHOPS - In 2010, STC Ed is investing in NSW teachers through our unique professional learning programs. For the first time, we are presenting a range of topic focused Teacher Workshops bringing teachers in touch with leading practitioners. Workshop topics include Verbatim, Shakespeare, Commedia Dell’Arte and Using Drama Across the Primary Curriculum.
