Seeking Lawrence-area classrooms for Suitcase Stories program
Suitcase Stories is an exciting new initiative from Theatre Lawrence designed to ignite imagination, inspire creativity, and empower upper elementary students through storytelling and performance. Led by Education Director Emily Giles, along with a team of local playwrights, actors, and educators, this project brings the magic of theatre directly into classrooms.
The Suitcase Stories crew will partner with five classrooms in the Lawrence area, focusing on schools and students who may not typically engage with Theatre Lawrence programs. Over the course of four hour-long sessions, students will explore storytelling, creative writing, and self-expression. The first three sessions guide students through the process of creating original stories, while the final session culminates in a live performance of the students’ work by the Suitcase Stories troupe.
By blending education and the arts, Suitcase Stories offers a powerful platform for young voices to be heard and celebrated. Did we mention this program is offered for FREE to each classroom.
If you are interested, please reach out to Emily Giles at youth@theatrelawrence.com. Hopefully the 5 spots we have will fill up quickly!
