STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR STUDENTS & ATTEND THE SHOW!
RESOURCE GUIDES
We invite you to download ALL the free Resource Guides created specifically for each production whether you attend that show or not. The Resource Guides are full of practical information and grade-specific activities for you and your students – plus the worksheets are printer-friendly! We have even listed the Ohio state standards we believe the activities address in a particular subject.
We have several studio spaces that can be reserved after a Discovery performance. On your order form, select “Yes, I would like to be contacted about reserving a space for lunch,” or email discovery@daytonlive.org to arrange a reservation.
PERSONALIZED DISCOVERY WORKSHOPS
We’re happy to offer curated and personalized Discovery workshops designed to engage students more deeply in one or more of our Discovery Series performances. These immersive workshops empower teachers and students to expand their engagement before or after their Discovery show.
