With each production we offer a robust study guide that hits relevant curriculum points by grade level, extending far past theater into reading and literacy, history, and the social sciences.

Student Field Trips

Jobsite offers field trip performances for select productions, especially our annual Shakespeare production. Performed separately from our standard productions, these productions at the Straz Center are reserved for students and teachers only, where we can offer pre- and post-show visits and Q&A’s.

Workshops and Demonstrations

We offer both pre- and post-show visits to the schools, sending teaching artists involved in the production to offer custom-built workshops, demonstrations, or lectures to help further enrich the overall experience.

In addition to the workshops and demonstrations during the pre-show visits, we also include important context about the performance like information on the author, subject matter, and history about the time it was written as well as what the students should expect to see on stage and why we think it matters.

Post-show visits also include opportunities for the students to ask questions and provide feedback prior to the custom-built workshop, lecture, or demonstration that we arrange with the teachers. With these in-classroom visits we are able to work with far greater numbers of the student populations than we could bring into the theater.

Teaching artists are also available year-round for Shakespeare workshops for your school. We offer the following programs:

• Geared towards reading comprehension and “unlocking” Shakespeare’s rich language
• Geared for playing Shakespeare!

Student Video Library

Jobsite has a private video library and study guides available for individual classroom use that cover A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Henry V, Romeo & Juliet, and Hamlet.
