MCC Theater

Learn More

Classroom Partnerships bring MCC’s collaborative creative approach straight to New York City public schools and to students and young adults who don’t have access to the theater arts. We pair passionate and experienced teaching artists with partner schools to develop complimentary, custom-tailored arts education curriculum that meets the specific needs of each school’s students while cultivating a deep appreciation and interest in theater.

MCC Makes It Real
Teaching artists use classroom performances, live-readings, personalized writing prompts, improvisation, and other dynamic theater-based exercises to ignite student imaginations and help them crack open ELA texts in exciting new ways. Shakespearean classics, young adult novels, poetry, long-form essays—nothing is out of reach from the unbridled power of young minds once they’ve been activated to engage, study, question, and provoke conversations.
