Associate Artist
L. Peter Callender at a Student Matinee for As You Like It |
The Cal Shakes Student Discovery Matinee program includes, free of cost, an informative Teacher’s Guide, a lively pre-performance interactive engagement at the theater, and a post- show Q&A session with the actors. Our fun, educational pre- and post-show classroom visits by highly trained Teaching Artists are available at a very reasonable additional charge, and help contextualize the play and prepare students to more deeply engage in the production.

Student Discovery Program Underwriters:
California Shakespeare Theater’s production of King Lear was part of Shakespeare for a New Generation, a national initiative sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with Arts Midwest. Cal Shakes was one of 35 professional theater companies selected to participate in Shakespeare for a New Generation, which gives high-school and middle-school students throughout America the opportunity to experience Shakespeare’s works through high-quality productions and educational activities. Launched in September 2003, this annual program has already reached more than 1,300 communities, 18 military bases, and over 2,200 schools across all 50 states. Our participation in 2007 benefitted nearly 950 students from 14 schools serving large populations of low-income students.
Artistic Learning's 2007 programs were also underwritten by generous support from Citigroup Foundation, The Dale Family Fund, East Bay Community Foundation, Education Fund of Orinda, Walter and Elise Haas Fund, Oakland Fund for the Arts, The San Francisco Foundation, and Wells Fargo Foundation.
