Annually, ATC engages over 12,000 students with live professional theatre performances; serves Arizona classrooms with over 1400 hours of pre- and post-performance workshops; reaches over 100 Arizona schools in 8 counties; and offers more than 240 audience talkbacks and post-show discussions with creative artists.

Following the performance, students meet with guests artists to discuss the production and its elements.

Famous quotes containing the words learning, community and/or engagement:

    Isn’t it odd that networks accept billions of dollars from advertisers to teach people to use products and then proclaim that children aren’t learning about violence from their steady diet of it on television!
    Toni Liebman (20th century)

    Agitators are a set of interfering, meddling people, who come down to some perfectly contented class of the community and sow the seeds of discontent amongst them. That is the reason why agitators are so absolutely necessary. Without them, in our incomplete state, there would be no advance towards civilisation.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Pardon me, you are not engaged to any one. When you do become engaged to some one, I, or your father, should his health permit him, will inform you of the fact. An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant, as the case may be. It is hardly a matter that she could be allowed to arrange for herself.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
