STEAM Musicals
Our innovative library of elementary STEAM musicals, aligned to K-5 standards, are created for flexible casts of students ranging in age and reading level. We have a philosophy that the magic of educational theatre lives in establishing community within a group of students. We do this by creating strong ensemble-driven scripts where every one feels like a star. We only publish scripts and scores that have been piloted in fully realized productions with our local Atlanta- based school programs starring elementary age children. We write with classroom teachers, music and theatre teachers, as well as professional children’s theatre companies in mind. The scripts lend themselves to convenient cuts, grouping, casting suggestions that support educators in their efforts to direct a musical production relevant to student interests and school curriculum. Each production has suggested STEAM activities and arts integrated lessons to deepen the learning around a particular topic explored in our musicals. Bring the creative process to life with your students by producing one of our educational youth musicals!
