The Schooltime Educational Theatre Program presents multi-disciplinary theater performances for students in grades K through 12. The series was created to supplement classroom curriculum. A study guide is designed and supplied by TRIBECA for each production. Topics such as environmental issues, interpreting classic literature, and inter-cultural relations are explored. TRIBECA’s Schooltime productions are often a young person's first exposure to live theater. TRIBECA Schooltime Performances, when used with our accompanying Teacher Resource Guides, address the New York State Education Standards. Use the key below to see how our shows connect to these standards.

When a King sends his three sons to find their brides, two return with fair ladies. The last returns with... A FROG?! The Frog Bride with David Gonzalez is a hip adaptation of a classic Russian tale told by consummate storyteller David Gonzalez. Two outstanding musicians weave one of Prokofiev's classics with an original jazz-funk score, as David performs every role against a backdrop of stunning live video projection and moving images by painter Wassily Kandinsky. Filled with comic sparkle, The Frog Bride with David Gonzalez is a "ribbiting" coming-of-age story. |

Tuesday & Wednesday, February 10 & 11 @ 10:15AM & 12PM
Based on the book by Janell Cannon. Baby bat Stellaluna's life is flitting along right on schedule--until an owl attacks her mother one night, knocking the bewildered batlet out of her mother's loving grasp. The tiny bat is lucky enough to land in a nest of baby birds, but her whole world has just turned upside down. Literally. Stellaluna's adoptive bird mom accepts her into her nest, but only on the condition that Stellaluna will act like a bird, not a bat. Soon Stellaluna has learned to behave like a good bird should--she quits hanging by her feet and starts eating bugs. But when she finally has an opportunity to show her bird siblings what life as a bat is like, all of them are confounded. Anyone who has ever been asked to be someone they're not will understand the conflicts--and possibilities--Stellaluna faces. 2nd - 4th |
