BTE On Tour- Theatre in the Classroom (TIC)

TIC tours adaptations of world folk literature and history to elementary and middle schools across Pennsylvania and beyond. It serves as a tool for curriculum enhancement and a unique opportunity for students to discover the world from other perspectives.

What's the story about TIC?

TIC shows are presented in an animated story-theatre style featuring imaginative props, costumes, music, and student participation followed by a lively post-performance discussion. Different versions are performed for elementary and middle school audiences.

• Professional actors play multiple characters and create different locations and moods through the imaginative use of spare props and costumes
• Call and response student participation promotes basic group behavior skills, such as listening and watching
• A pre-show Study Guide allows teachers to maximize the educational value of the theatre experience by providing discussion ideas, related classroom activities, post-performance questions, and bibliography.
