Education Residencies
Town Hall Education is proud to partner with schools and community groups in the Lamorinda and Contra Costa areas to bring theatre education to even more places.
Like our onsite classes, Town Hall Education’s Residencies provide a process-based and engaging theatrical experience to students of all ages. Our core values are empowerment, connection and empathy, trust, collaboration, creativity, and commitment. We believe all of these lessons can be learned through theatre education and applied in everyday life.
Programs vary based on the needs of the partnering organizations and range from introductions to theatre to full-length productions. We strive to build community and creativity with students everywhere we go.
Residency Programs are only open for students currently attending the residency location. For classes for all students, please visit our seasonal on-site class page for current offerings.
For more information, or to bring a THEd Residency to a community partner near you, contact Education@TownHallTheatre.com
