Please remember as long as it is safe to do so, we’ll be outdoors, so please dress for the weather!
Holiday Performance Workshop
Join Theater in the Open educators for our Fall Performance Workshop - a fun and supportive after-school program for students to learn the basics of improvisation, self-expression, scenes, and stagecraft. Using workshop games and activities, instructors and students will collaborate to create a short original, holiday-themed performance that will be presented at the Firehouse Theater in conjunction with TITO’s Winter Panto.
See you at the end of 2025!

School residencies
Theater in the Open has been in residence at a handful of schools across the North Shore, providing the opportunity for your students to have a drama club in their own space. We work with the classroom teachers to design the experience that best suits the needs of the students and the school, and can offer semester-long educational and team-building experiences around creating art together.
Age range: Elementary and Middle School level residencies are available.
To begin the process of setting up a residency, email Mara Flynn, Director of Education, at mara@theaterintheopen.org.
Tour Opportunities
Our Summer and Fall productions are often classic works of literature, including Shakespeare, Arthur Miller, Ovid, and more. These productions are built to be portable and can include workshops on the material as well as on the creative process. We believe in putting students front and center in the work of these tours—we are happy to provide low-stress performance opportunities for students along with our performance. We have previously brought productions to Colby College in Waterville, Maine.
Age range: Depending on the production, touring opportunities would be best for Middle, High School, and University students.
To bring a Theater in the Open production to your school, email info@theaterintheopen.org.
