High School Workshops
For high school students with more targeted artistic goals, IRT Education offers a series of full day workshops! Professional, highly trained IRT teaching artists will guide young theatre makers in specialized skill sets like audition technique, playwriting, and prop production. These process-based workshops offer a deeper dive, more individual attention, and a fun learning environment where students can explore their expanding theatrical interests!
