Teachers, make your theater experience even more meaningful by adding a DramaShop!

After your class sees a show at the Rosewood Center for Family Arts, a professional theater artist conducts a workshop using hands-on activities to emphasize important themes and concepts from the play.

Times: DCT shows usually run 1 1/2 –2 hours. Immediately following the show, each class staying for a Dramashop will be directed to an eating area for a 30-minute lunch break before the workshop begins. The Dramashop will then last one hour.
(For example: if a show runs from 10:00-11:30 a.m. the Dramashop will begin at approximately 12:00 noon and last until 1:00 p.m.)

Number of students: 25-30 students per Dramashop, i.e.: one regular class size. This allows for adequate participation for each student. One classroom teacher must remain with each Dramashop class for the lunch and workshop.

Cost: $80 for each Dramashop workshop for up to 25-30 students.

Booking Information: DCT can accommodate up to four Dramashop workshops after a 10:00 a.m. performance at the Rosewood Center for Family Arts. Dramashops will be booked on a first-come, first-served basis.

Can’t make a DCT show? You can still schedule a Dramashop for your class. Bring your class to the Rosewood Center for Family Arts and a DCT theater professional will conduct a general theater/drama workshop that will be fun, educational and hands-on for all students. Costs, number of students and length of workshop are the same as the other Dramashop workshops.
To book, contact Nancy Schaeffer at 214-978-0110 x 140 or nancy.schaeffer@dct.org as soon as possible to schedule a date for your class or grade level.
