Semester Residency Programs

The deep-end option. Students don't just watch theatre — they write it, rehearse it, and perform it. The results are the kind you still hear about at graduation.

A Play'N Around residency embeds professional theatre instruction directly into your school's schedule over the course of a semester. Students develop voice, presence, empathy, and creative collaboration — while meeting real LAUSD ELA and performing arts standards in every session.
