Seeing Peter and the Starcatcher

Pre-Show Activities, Peter and the Starcatcher

Flushing High School has a partnership with the Theater Development Fund (TDF) which provides tickets to a Broadway show free of charge to high school classes.  TDF hosts a teacher workshop prior to the production so teachers can better prepare their students to see the show.  TDF also funds a unique teaching artist program that brings professional working artists into the classroom for a total of four sessions, to be supplemented by four show prep sessions organized by the teacher.  This year an advanced drama class was selected to see "Peter and the Starcatcher."  Below are images of students acting out various roles in the show.
