Bring the Power of Theater into Your Classroom

At Verge, we believe that when children play, they learn. Theater is a powerful tool that fosters student-driven learning, nurtures curiosity and academic bravery, and builds trust in the classroom.

We believe every child deserves to have their voice valued and their imagination encouraged. Every child should have access to arts education, and we're committed to working hand-in-hand with teachers and school communities to make this a reality.

Here’s how we’re bringing our expertise in drama education to local schools:

  • Improv Workshop Series: Improv empowers students by developing crucial social and emotional skills such as self-regulation, empathy, and self-confidence. It also enhances verbal communication, listening, and literacy abilities.

  • Teacher Partnerships: We collaborate with teachers to integrate drama-based pedagogy into their classrooms, using theater games, activities, and methodologies to engage students and enrich learning experiences.

  • New Curriculum Development: We continually innovate to create new curricula that support students, teachers, and school communities. Currently, we are partnering with Bozeman School District’s kindergarten-readiness program to design an early childhood drama curriculum for local preschools.

What teachers have to say...

"It was an AMAZING opportunity for kids to be kids! To play, explore, and learn some real life skills along the way! Very impressed! The Verge instructor was warm and welcoming to the students to invite kids (even the shy friends) to interact and play."

"I loved watching my kiddos step out of their comfort zones! I also appreciated the opportunity for early exposure to an art form not usually offered to elementary age students."

"They really enjoyed the imagination and movement aspect. It was great for my shy or low-performing kids to feel successful and know that all their ideas and contributions were as important as everyone else's."
