Teachers
To achieve quality instruction, we primarily rely on artists/actors/professionals and general education teachers from the
schools with which we partner. However, we understand that artists/professionals may not intrinsically be effective teachers, and have provided mechanisms to ensure that our artists and teachers
can mutually benefit from each other.
All artists/professionals must have: Knowledge/skills/experience in their respective field (technology,
performance, costume/makeup, or play writing). Teaching experience or attend a Theatre Benedict facilitated full-day
workshop with a certified teacher from one of the schools with which we partner.
