  • Program 3 [2018]

    DETROIT PUBLIC THEATRE HAS BEEN COLLABORATING WITH DETROIT SCHOOLS SINCE OUR FOUNDING IN 2015 AND CREATING ARTS-INTEGRATED CURRICULA FOR SOCIAL STUDIES AND ENGLISH CLASSROOMS USING OUR PLAYS AS JUMPING OFF POINTS FOR DIALOGUE AND DEEPER STUDENT ENGAGEMENT WITH SUBJECT MATTER. WE HAVE CREATED A CURRICULUM WITH PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS FOR USE IN HIGH SCHOOL AMERICAN HISTORY CLASSROOMS THAT CONNECTS STUDENTS MORE PROFOUNDLY TO THEIR STUDY OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT OF THE 1960'S THROUGH DOMINIQUE MORRISSEAU'S ACCLAIMED PLAY "DETROIT '67 AND WE HAVE BROUGHT THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS TO SEE OUR PRODUCTIONS. WE HAVE WORKED WITH RENAISSANCE HIGH SCHOOL, CASS TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL, DETROIT SCHOOL OF ARTS, AND WITH OTHER STUDENTS THROUGH THE MATRIX COMMUNITY CENTER IN OSBORN. DETROIT PUBLIC THEATRE IS IN THE PLANNING STAGES FOR A NEW CURRICULUM USING MORRISSEAU'S PLAY "PARADISE BLUE" AS OUR SOURCE MATERIAL.
