Welcome to Theatre Direct Canada's Education Services department.

We place great importance on developing quality education resources to compliment our presentations. Our Education Services department is available to answer any questions you might have about making live theatre an integral part of your students' learning. Also feel free to contacts regarding presentations or workshops for teacher or parent groups.

Teacher Resource Guides for Previous Productions
Our Education Consultant works with experienced educators and issue-specific advisors to prepare our Teacher Resource Guides. These guides provide background information, classroom discussion and activities designed to meet the Ontario Curriculum expectations. Click Here to request a Study Guide for previous productions.

Our Education Services department will work with Educators to ensure they have all the necessary tools to make their students' theatrical and educational experience as full and rich as possible.
