creative learning
Vault Theatre’s Creative Learning programs offer dynamic arts education for students in schools, afterschool programs, and homeschool settings. Designed to inspire creativity and enhance critical thinking, our hands-on workshops and residencies engage students in theatre-making while complementing core curriculum. From building empathy through social-emotional learning to deepening understanding in academic subjects like history, science, and language arts, our Creative Learning experiences encourage collaboration, exploration, and growth.
Whether in the classroom or beyond, Vault Theatre brings learning to life through the transformative power of theatre. If you’re a school teacher or administrator, head to our Educators page for details on school residencies, after-school partnerships, and how to bring Vault Theatre to your students.

Step into the world of imagination where stories leap off the page and onto the stage! In StoryPlay: Homeschool Theatre, homeschool students bring their favorite classic tales to life through acting, movement, and creative play. Each class builds on the last, as young artists explore characters, scenes, and storytelling techniques, working together to transform timeless stories into living theatre. By the end of the session, young artists share their journey in a lively presentation that celebrates their creativity, collaboration, and the magic of bringing stories from page to stage.

In-School
Vault Theatre's residency programs are designed to use theatre to integrate arts with core curriculum, engage in dialogue on challenging social topics, or create and build theatre skills. Vault Theatre offers holistic in-school or afterschool programs that pair with core curriculum or arts classes to engage in conversation, create empathy, and build pathways for individual student action. Workshops and Residencies are designed to work directly within the existing curriculum creating a strong partnership with classroom teachers on reaching unit goals and objectives.
Vault Theatre offers workshops and residencies in three distinct focuses:
INTEGRATE is designed to use theatre to integrate arts with core curriculum offered. Workshops and Residencies can pair with any core subject offering true arts integrated approaches to curriculum introducing theatre goals that connect with and enhance core curriculum. Do you have a novel you'd like to lift from page to stage? A science concept you'd like to activate? A character in history you'd like to bring to life? Changemakers: Integrate can meet the needs of your curriculum while seamlessly infusing the arts!
