RISE (In-School Programs)

Bring Near West Theatre to Your School!

RISE! In-school programming is a pre-K through 12 theatre education program that integrates research-based practices and introduces students to the performing arts and musical theatre, all while emphasizing social and emotional learning. Our curriculum aligns with Ohio’s Theatre Arts and English Language Arts learning standards, creating workshops and classes that foster artistic and academic growth.

Students actively explore the creative process of musical theatre through imagination, self-expression, and community, while gaining confidence, new ways to express emotion, and many more creative skills that will help them with their academic and personal futures. Best of all, many find a new love of theater!
