It’s said that the best teachers possess a flair for the dramatic.

They find the story in a lesson and bring it vividly to life.

In the same way, this year’s wide-ranging plays will get your middle and high-school students thinking deeply about vital lessons of history, science, philosophy, art and the humanities.

A South African teenager confronts the personal effects of apartheid. Picasso and Einstein explore the source and consequences of genius. Two giants of modern physics examine how war and politics shaped their science – and their friendship.

Thrill your students with the power of live professional theatre, and give them lessons that will last a lifetime.
