About the Project

This project will be a cross-curricular, interdisciplinary experience that engages students in exploring how literature is adapted for the stage. Students will study novels and then travel to New York to attend Broadway productions. While in New York, students will participate in workshops that include playwriting, poetry, backstage tours, and live performances. After returning, students will select fairy tales from different cultures and adapt them into original musicals or plays using the same creative process. These productions will be performed at Morse High School during a spring one-act festival and added to the school’s growing script library of student-created work. This initiative is part of a larger effort within the theatre program to foster student voice and creativity through original writing.
