Education at Union Arts Center

Bring professional teaching artists directly into your classrooms and community spaces! Through embodied learning, students will analyze, collaborate, and build confidence through creative exploration.

A touring Shakespeare production dedicated to bringing high-quality live classical theatre directly to students across the state. These productions are accessible, engaging, and rooted in active storytelling.

Centering young people as artists, participants rehearse and perform under the guidance of professional directors and teaching artists.  No prior experience is required—just curiosity and a commitment to storytelling.

We offer classes across disciplines for learners of all ages. Our classes support everyone from emerging theatre-makers to established creatives looking to deepen their practice.

Our student matinee performances, as well as our Engage the Stage programming, invite students into a professional performance setting and provide a powerful introduction to live storytelling on stage.

Designed to support learning before and after attending a performance, these guides include play context, character breakdowns, discussion questions, and classroom activities. 

This program is open to anyone interested in understanding how theatre is made. Observers are invited into four key touchpoints of a production process: a first read, a staging rehearsal, a technical rehearsal, and opening night.
