    Our innovative curriculum-linked residencies get kids teaching their peers about science and the environment through theatre. Using inquiry-based learning, students are challenged to discover meaning and relevance in curriculum linked topics pertinent to natural, scientific and environmental issues. Facilitating the development of both critical and creative thinking, we raise environmental and social awareness and empower youth to take part in making positive choices. Students "Grow A Show" through a series of playwriting and performance workshops over a period of one week - two weeks. The Grow-A-Show program places a team of theatre professionals in your school. Each artist offers a unique blend of science, scene building, scriptwriting, character creation, choreography, co-operative dramatic games, and improvisation. The artists will lead the school in the creation, rehearsal, and performance of a brand new, science inspired work of theatre, showcasing the the students' in an environmental extravaganza of their own invention. Combining arts with science education provides a basis towards creating vibrant self-expression and a deeper, more personalized understanding of concrete subject matter. In addition to nourishing individual imagination and creativity, The Grow-A-Show program also develops a school-wide sense of teamwork and collaboration.
