What?
Each musical is hand-picked by you & comes with an interactive study guide that can be used before or after your visit to further enhance your studies.

Where?
SCT’s campus in the Crossroads Shopping Center, at Victory & Skidaway in Savannah, Georgia. When? Available Tuesdays-Fridays, September-June, from 10am-12pm. Other times available upon request. Call or email for current availability.

Why?
Research shows that music & drama are highly effective methods for relaying information in a way that is accessible & easy to remember. SCT brings schoolwork to life in a fun & creative atmosphere that will hold students’ attention & engage them in interactive, educational “play.”

How?
Students will be divided into small class groups & undergo 90 minutes of rehearsal under the direction of our highly skilled theatre staff. Teachers will relax & enjoy our colorful lobby, complete with wi-fi, while their classes rehearse. (Many teachers tell us that this is their favorite part!)
           For the final presentation, students will perform in groups, using props, hats & songs designed to teach the chosen material in a way that is fun & easy to remember. The plot will unfold, as students are invited to read small acting parts alongside our professional actors, to create a musical comedy experience like no other!
