TEAM Walnut


TEAM Walnut connects Philadelphia's finest Teaching Artists to classrooms and boardrooms across the Delaware Valley. These partnerships include artist residencies at area schools and community centers, professional development programs for educators, and teambuilding and staff development workshops for corporations and organizations. Each partnership provides individually-designed, high-quality theatre-education workshops with personal hands-on instruction.

TEAM residencies are tailored to suit the specific needs of your students and goals. Walnut Street Theatre's TEAM will work with each school or organization individually to design the best workshop for you.
