Immersion Days
Help Them Take Part in Something Magical... Design an Immersion Day For Your Students
What happens on an Immersion Day? Before the performance, students participate in Small Group Workshops with teaching artists on a variety of topics. Students then gain a unique backstage perspective through Build A Moment, a large group demonstration wherein actors and designers from the production perform short sections of the play. Who are Immersion Days for? Immersion Days are designed to serve 20-150 students in grades 7-12. Workshops and presentations are flexible, and serve both experienced theatre students and literature students with little or no theatre experience. What do students learn from an Immersion Day that they can't learn by simply attending a production? Students who participate in Immersion Day activities experience the performance in a deeper and more meaningful way. Throughout all workshops and presentations, Immersion Day teaching artists enrich each student's theatre experience by sharing their passion for theatre, illustrating theatre as a collaborative art, and highlighting the importance of preparation and interpretive choices.

"You created a magical, memory-making day. From the moment we entered the theatre we felt welcome and a part of things. On the way home the makeup kids went into McDonald's as a group...I don't think those poor girls in Hastings will ever be the same!" –Drama Teacher, La Crosse Central High School "I wish I wasn't graduating. I'd like to spend another Immersion Day at Park Square Theatre." –Student, Eden Prairie High School Planning Resources Sample Immersion Day Schedules Workshop Teaching Artists Student Matinees More Information Mary Finnerty Education Director Call 651.767.8494 or send email |
