Up to 80 contact hours/cohort. Grades PreK-12. In Community: Only with American Legacy Theatre is theatre a nomadic vehicle for social change to break down barriers and build bridges by increasing empathy and driving awareness into action. With our innovative storytelling in partnership with the community, the intangible becomes tangible - opioid epidemic, gender gaps, racial inequality, and so much more! In Homes: New to America and only with American Legacy Theatre, Home Theatre pairs a community member (host) with an artist to share their truths and have an original solo-production built in seven days. This piece is performed in the host’s home (digital or in-person) for an intimate audience selected by the host. Simultaneously, the piece is captured via video to live on in the Home Theatre Library thus making the exclusive universally inclusive. In Workplace: Only with American Legacy Theatre can organizations realize the fullest impact they can have internally and externally through the increase in empathy. Formatted to meet shared goals, we partner to improve cross-functionally. #YourNationalTheatre #BeTheLegacy #BreaktheWalls
