After your class views 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.
Study Guides for shows are typically available within three weeks of a shows opening. Check back frequently, however, as some guides may become available sooner.
