Since the onset of COVID-19, Deana’s Educational Theater (DET) has created virtual options of our theater programs. We are excited to be able to offer DET’s lessons and learnings with this new platform.
Each of our educational theater programs consist of a 30-minute play followed by a 30-minute post-show discussion between the actors and the audience. During these moments, our actors connect with the audience in an honest and candid way, ensuring a deep understanding of the learnings and lessons highlighted in the play. Following the program, we leave time for student Q&A where we connect them with resources.
For more information and to discuss your programming needs, please email us at booking@deanaseducationaltheater.org or feel free to complete the Bookings Form and a member of our staff will reach out.
We look forward to working with you!
