For plays in our Chicago Playworks or Theatre School Showcase seasons, The Theatre School prepares Teacher Guides and/or a Curtain Raiser for use in your classroom. Our intention is to create connections between our performances and all areas of the elementary school curriculum for Chicago Playworks and the high school curriculum for The Theatre School Showcase. Also included are a variety of activities, discussion topics and assignments that teachers may use in their classes. Teacher Guides are sent to everyone who purchases tickets for a group; they are also available to patrons on request.

Before the Teacher Guides are published, we release the Curtain Raiser, a shorter guide presenting some background material on each production in our season for teachers and parents.
