Book to Bravo!

Create an operetta inspired by a story or fable from class curriculum. Available in English or Spanish.

Students engage with curriculum in new ways as they bring literature to life through music and theater. Using interpretative skills and their own imaginative voices, they write scenes and songs, design and rehearse their work, and perform for their classmates in a culminating performance.

Information for Teachers

For grades 4–12. The program consists of 10 weekly class sessions of 90 minutes, a performance, and a 45-minute follow-up session. Two teaching artists plan content with the classroom teacher, who also works with students to complete assignments between visits. Access to performance space and a piano in good working order is necessary. Offered live, virtually or in a hybrid format for fall 2021 and in-person in spring 2022.

Cost

$1,500 for each participating classroom. Scholarships are available for qualifying schools.

This activity is supported in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
