Arts-Integrated Workshops

Engaging Arts-Integrated Workshop Packages

First Stage’s Arts-Integrated Workshop Packages are fun, dynamic, and robust opportunities for students to deeply engage in academic subjects as active, collaborative learners. Students will take their studies off the page, and out of their desks in our drama-centric, state and national standards-based pedagogy which spans all core content areas.
