Nashville Children's Theatre's Curriculum Guides

NCT's curriculum guides provide classroom teachers with background information, ideas and activities that help prepare them for the experience of going to the theatre as well as connecting the themes of the play to the Tennessee State Curriculum Standards. Some pages provide teacher resources while other pages (denoted at the beginning of each guide) are designed for teachers to duplicate for their students.

Actors love to hear from young people. Students can write letters to the actors, draw a picture of their favorite scene in the play, or write a review of the show.

Thank you for choosing to share in the experience of live theatre with us. We are delighted and grateful to have you as our guest.

Special Saturday Workshop: On Saturday, September 30 at 2 pm, NCT Director of Education, Julee Brooks and Brian Hull of Nashville Public Library will team up to present an interactive workshop that is open to anyone. Join us that day where children will make their own cardboard rapiers and see a demonstration of stage combat.
