Workshop / Residency Program  [Website]

Presented by: Two River Theater Company

Program Description

The Heroes Project: Through this artist-in-residence program, professional teaching artists go into schools for 10 weeks and teach a select group of students how to write and perform their own play, which is then presented at Two River Theater Company. Because TRTC is committed to offering this kind of program to financially underserved schools, The Heroes Project is completely grant-funded and costs the participating school nothing at all. Schools interested in participating in The Heroes Project must fill out an application; please contact Kate Cordaro for more information - 732.345.1400x814, kate@trtc.org.
