Theatre Orangeville Education Outreach
Theatre Orangeville prides itself on its commitment to young people through our many youth programs. One way we feel we can be of invaluable service to our teachers is by supporting the Secondary School Arts Curriculum as set out by the Ministry of Education.
In the 2009/10 season, Theatre Orangeville will be offering a variety of productions that can support your curriculum and bring it to life. Take advantage of our creative team to enhance your lessons. We can arrange to have artists speak with your class, either after the performance or at your school. Have your students discover just how much fun Education on Stage can be!

"Artistic expression involves clarifying and restructuring personal experience. It engages students in perception, production, and reflection. Learning in, through, and about the arts involves using the mind, body, heart, and soul to achieve intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual well-bing." www.edugov.on.ca
