Making History, LIVE! with Roanoke Children’s Theatre What better way to learn about what it was like to live in a world of the past than to bring that world back to life onstage? As part of our educational outreach mission, RCT offers SOL-compliant in-school residencies as a theatre enrichment option for schools in our community. These programs come with study guides, in-class instruction by RCT’s professional actors/educators, and follow-up materials. These courses can be offered over several days to a class level, or in one day to multiple classrooms. Jamestown! Students Will Learn All About The New World of Jamestown and The World of Theatre by Putting on a Play! Living is Learning — and that’s what RCT Residencies are all about. 4th Grade Jamestown —A New World To create the Play in Residency, students will explore the New World they are bringing to life: Why did Jamestown settlers come to America? Where is Jamestown located? What was the importance of the charters of the Virginia Company of London ? What was the Virginia House of Burgesses? What was the impact of the arrival of women? What was the impact of the arrival of Africans? What hardships did the Jamestown settlers face? What changes took place to ensure survival? How did the Powhatan people and the settlers interact? Why did these relationships change? Making History—LIVE! Onstage! And to create the New World on stage, students will explore the world of Theatre Arts: Performance, research and design are all part of the act in an RCT Residency! What is a play? What are professional theatre jobs? And why is a Producer like King James? How do actors prepare? How do you cast a show? And who will be in the show today? What design/technical positions make a world come to life? What inspires designing props and costumes? Experience Rehearsals, Dress Rehearsal and Opening Night!
