In conjunction with its year-round programming, The New Victory has established unique opportunities for students and teachers of all ages. Groups from member schools attend daytime performances at The New Victory at reduced prices, prepared in advance with classroom materials designed to illuminate and inform students' experiences of live performances at the theater. Following each schooltime performance, students remain in the Theater to participate in post-show discussions. These informative sessions help students and teachers discuss and process their thoughts and feelings on the show with performers and other theater professionals.
Teachers also participate in hands-on training sessions throughout the academic year.
These sessions allow teachers to build their artistic skills, and learn ways in which the arts can be infused into their regular classroom curriculum. The activities teachers complete during training sessions are included as a part of the Theater's curriculum materials. Also included in the study guide is a combination of background information on the companies presented at The New Victory and additional resources teachers may use in their preparation for a visit to the Theater. Available to high school juniors and seniors as well as college and graduate students, this program gives participants hands-on experience with all aspects of operating a nonprofit theater. Apprentices work beside theater staff and technicians in all areas of the theater to establish a firm foundation for their future as emerging professionals in the performing arts.
