Education



ASC at NJCU’s educational programming is designed to give students an appreciation for Shakespeare and other classic works. In a dynamic and participatory format, students are directly engaged in both the analysis and performance of plays and live theatre. All of the workshops are developed and led by ASC at NJCU’s Resident Teaching Artists.  In addition to the in-school education programs, ASC invites students and teachers to our main stage productions through our School Day Matinee Series.

“Classical thought has posed the question of human purpose for centuries. Nowhere in the English language is that quest more fully drawn than in the works of William Shakespeare. By taking his plays off the page and standing them firmly on the stage we give the next generation the opportunity to make a connection to their profound truths.”
Colette Rice, ASC’s Artistic Director
