Youth Arts and WCT partner with Parent-Teacher Associations and school administrations
to offer creative drama and/or visual art classes as part of their after-school enrichment
programs. Call 617-926-ARTS (2787) or email education@mosesianarts.org for more details.
Student Matinee Performances

Watertown Children’s Theatre is happy to offer student matinee performances of our Black
Box Series productions for visiting school groups, a valuable opportunity for schools in our
community to bring their students to see educational, high-quality theatre, done by student
performers, at reduced prices. The experience includes a Study Guide sent prior to the
performance, with activities and information to engage students in the classroom before
and after attending, as well as a talk-back with the cast and crew immediately following
the performance, a chance for students in the audience to ask questions and engage in a
discussion with the actors and production team. Call 617-926-ARTS (2787) or email WCT at
education@mosesianarts.org to find out about our Student Matinee performances for the
2019-2020 season, or to reserve tickets for your school!
Homeschool Programs
The Mosesian Center for the Arts and Watertown Children’s Theatre are excited to
collaborate with groups of homeschool students to offer visual and performing arts
programs on a variety of themes, media, and techniques! If your group of homeschool
students is interested in developing an arts-based program, please email education@
mosesianarts.org or call 617-926-ARTS (2787) and we will work with you to create a class that
suits your group and your interests.
