Tempest will work closely with you and your staff to develop a residency that uses theatre and creative dramatics as a teaching tool to work on various subjects and learning standards. From creating multi-cultural presentations to developing math skills through drama. Creative Drama is a wonderful way to explore curriculum while also addressing the learning standards.

Tempest offers performances and interactive events for all grades at a low cost per student - contact us for complete information & details on bringing a performance or event to your school.

Electra
Revenge, obsession, deceit and a Chorus! Greek drama at its best, Electra embodies man's capacity for pain, anger and the ability to hold a grudge!
