Main Street Theater Education
THE Performance Playground!

Bringing theater education to YOU!

 

Main Street Theater offers students a performing arts playground where professional theater artists serve as mentors. With an emphasis on creativity and collaboration, we provide hands-on opportunities for students to make an original contribution in all aspects of play production.

In support of Main Street Theater’s mission, our Education Department provides a significant resource in the community for inclusive and accessible education and engagement in theater for kids, families, and educators.

Theater reinforces the life skills and character qualities valued in any profession: creativity, observation, self-confidence, communication, promise-keeping, leadership, empathy, listening, and teamwork. Students are encouraged to take risks, be bold, laugh a lot, and have fun!

Every child has a story—here, they learn to tell it.

We offer after-school classes and in-school residencies.

Our after-school classes are available to public and private schools, community centers, libraries, and more.

Using a theater-based approach, our in-school residencies advance literacy, reading, and more at schools across the Greater Houston Area.

Our satellite classes let students engage in activities like improv games, scene work, movement, and voice exercises, plus creating original plays and projects.

Do you have a class that needs a special focus? ASL? Dyslexia? Dual language? We have the resources to tailor our classes to your needs. Let’s create a class together that will be just right for your students!

We offer the classes below as both after-school and in-school programs.
