Give your students the gift of theater!
Bring your class or group to a day-time matinee or evening performance. Meet the actors, director and the crew, and participate in post-play discussions and activities.
Education Matinees
Our matinees unfold the processes behind Pangea World Theater productions and offer content and educator support by providing material for active engagement, deep reflection, and relevance of the play today.
Educators will be provided with a study guide to support classroom discussions and activities well before the performance and once students have left the theater.
We also offer workshops around the themes of productions. These workshops can take place at your organization or at the theater after the performance.

Fall 2024
Homo Dramaticus by Alberto Adellach
A co-production with Teatro del Pueblo and Pangea World Theater
Homo Dramaticus is composed of three short plays — “Criaturas”, “Marcha”, and “Palabras” — that make up a common story: the importance of Drama in the cultural, political and spiritual life of human beings and its great creative force in the face of the ineffable destiny of all people. The scenes are playful, absurd and violent. The beings that inhabit them will try, in a last desperate gesture, to build the relationships that give meaning to their (our) existence before the inevitable end.
Children (Criaturas)
This play examines the innocence and complexities of childhood through the eyes of its characters.
March (Marcha)
A reflection on movement, progress, and the collective human journey.
Words (Palabras)
An exploration of communication, language, and the power of words in shaping our realities.

Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco
Rhinoceros is a commentary on the rise of fascism and the dangers of conformity. It tells the story of a small French town where the residents begin turning into rhinoceroses one by one. As the play progresses, Bérenger, the protagonist, becomes increasingly isolated and struggles to hold onto his own identity.
