Description
Every other year, the Theatre for Young Audiences class tours Denver and Northern Colorado with a socially relevant play for young people. For the first time ever, in 2020, we will tour a play written specifically for children ages 3-6. Students from the 2018 tour will discuss the impact of this course and participants in the 2020 class will discuss how they intend to work with this new, younger population. We will also share how we plan to talk about serious topics like racism and discrimination with preschool aged children.
