Classics in the Classroom:

Need an extra hand getting students engaged with Shakespeare? Let Classic come to you!

Our student outreach program illuminates Shakespearean plays being studied in middle school and high school classrooms. The Classic Theatre of San Antonio will contract artist educators to take 6 Shakespeare plays 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. We will work closely with the students of classes currently reading a Shakespeare text (Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Midsummer, 12th Night, and Macbeth), to bring Shakespeare to life!

The workshops will culminate in an in-class performance (of studied play) by our contract artist(s).

To request a workshop, or for more information, contact the Director of Education, Kacey Roye, at 210-468-3900 or at kroye@classictheatre.org.

Internships:

Our Apprentice, Intern, 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 2019-2020 season. Placement opportunities are limited.
