Classics in the Classroom:

Need help with your Shakespeare unit? Let Classic come to you!

Our student outreach program illuminates classic plays and literature being studied in middle school and high school classrooms. With funds from H-E-B Tournament of Champions, Rackspace, The Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation, and Texas Commission on the Arts, The Classic Theatre of San Antonio will contract artist educators to take classic plays and literature into San Antonio public, private and magnet middle school and high school classrooms with our Classics in the Classroom educational outreach program.

Schools will be selected based on application, with those schools with the most limited access to art programming given priority. Classic Theatre will work closely with the teachers of classes currently reading a Shakespeare text or other classic piece (required in Texas public schools grades 9-12; Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Julius Caesar and Macbeth). Our teaching artists will visit the class to present 3 workshops, tailored to fit the targeted age group, address TEKS requirements and class emphasis.

The workshops will culminate in an in-class performance by our contract artist(s) and reserved seating to one of our Student Performances in our 2017-2018 season.
To request a workshop, or for more information, contact the Director of Education, Kacey Roye, at 210-468-3900 or at kroye@classictheatre.org.

AIM High Internships:

Our Apprenticeship-Internship-Mentor program is aimed at high-school and college students interested in careers in the performing arts.

AIM High offers total immersion in technical production, directing, stage management, and acting through hands-on experience working directly with accomplished professional artists on a production, as it moves from rehearsal to opening night, and throughout the run of the show. Previous AIM High interns frequently appear in productions and move on to receive paid positions at our theatre.

Interns are eligible for community service hours. Undergraduate students can apply to the AIM High program as an independent study with coordination between the University and the Director of Education at Classic Theatre. We are currently accepting AIM High applications for the 2017-2018 season. Placement opportunities are limited.
