Residency Programs
Residency programs offer schools the opportunity to connect with The Huntington during the regular school day. Huntington Teaching Artists visit classrooms for a designated amount of time with the goal of sharing the world of theater with students and their teachers. If you are a teacher interested in taking part of the August Wilson New Voices Residency or Epic, please contact education@huntingtontheatre.org.
Codman Academy Charter Public School
The Huntington is a founding partner of Codman Academy Charter Public School and collaborates with Codman year-round to create and teach its innovative, interdisciplinary Humanities curriculum. The partnership with Codman Academy showcases the Huntington’s wide-reaching youth, education, and community initiatives.
EPIC: Empowered Performers in Conversation
EPIC is an after-school program which provides the opportunity for student playwrights, actors, directors, and theatre enthusiasts to tackle issues of most importance to them. Through deliberate research and debate, writing exercises, ensemble building and acting training, students are mentored, by members of the Education Staff, through the process of creating an original piece of theatre which addresses a current challenge affecting young people.
