Concrete Theatre - Educators

Good Theatre for Change!

Welcome Educators and thank you for visiting Concrete Theatre’s website. If you have already booked a Concrete Theatre production into your school we look forward to meeting you. If you are considering one of our shows for your students we hope this section will help you make your decision.

For the last two decades, Concrete Theatre has been dedicated to bringing professional theatre artists together to create and present award-winning, relevant and challenging plays for young people. We believe that young people deserve to see brilliant theatre made just for them by people interested in the power of theatre as a tool to not only entertain, but to educate, impact and provoke positive change.

In this section of the website you will find the Study Guides for this season’s productions as well as helpful links and information that may assist you to further your students learning before or after our production has played in your school.

If you have any questions about these materials, or would like more information, please contact our Booking Coordinator, Irene Kunda at bookings@concretetheatre.ca

Thank you for your interest in our productions. We are thrilled that you are looking to book one of our shows.
