D.C.-Metro area educators, treat yourself to dinner and a show plus a workshop on us! You will begin the evening with a complimentary dinner with peer educators. Next, you’ll engage in a dynamic workshop where you will learn exciting ways to integrate themes from the mainstage performance back to your classroom. To complete your experience, you will attend that evening’s performance at Ford’s Theatre. It’s a great night out for educators, and you’ll be better prepared to engage your students with the show’s themes.

Attendance is mandatory for schools accepted to Ford’s Free Student Matinee Program. General registration for the workshop is open to all.
