Each year Victoria Theatre Association's Education and Outreach team offers in-depth education projects at no charge to participating students and teachers. Each project is built around a particular performance and theme. Past projects, for example, have focused on the Holocaust or have been created around productions such as Wicked, Hairspray, Freedom Train, Ragtime, and The Color Purple. A typical project begins with hands-on theatre workshops in the classroom followed by a critical writing or art project that explores key themes of the work in question (especially its historical context) and connects those themes to the present day, culminating in students’ attendance at the performance.

As an organization, Victoria Theatre Association will gain a greater understanding of the community which we serve as well as create new and strengthen existing partnerships within the Dayton area community. Our hope is that this type of project can serve as a model for further development of this demographic that is in such need of positive role models, educational opportunities and powerful exposure to the arts.
