Practical experience with theatre development and production or at least one college level course in theatre is required.

The course provides an historical and theoretical overview of theatre-in-education (TIE), a movement that educates through the use of theatre, rather than by teaching students theatre appreciation or skills. In studying TIE practices and methods, students learn a range of key strategies and gain hands-on experience with use of them. Students also reflect on the important elements of a successful educational arts experience and gain a greater understanding of the requirements for a strong partnership through developing and presenting their own TIE projects.

This course is offered in association with the Paul A. Kaplan Center for Educational Drama of the CUNY Creative Arts Team.
