Proctors is proud to present the 2nd Annual Educator Extravaganza, a night for educators, administrators, and home school leaders interested in the arts!

Explore the wonderful opportunities for you and your students that Proctors has to offer. Participate in interactive workshops with the area’s leading teaching artists; see a fabulous performance of stories from Edgar Allen Poe by our new partner, Capital Repertory Theatre, as well as the intriguing new film Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs.

Educator Extravaganza is a great opportunity for you to explore the wonderful arts enrichment opportunities in the area while having an entertaining evening here at Proctors.

Participate in one of two workshops:

Improv for the Classroom
Led by professional improviser and trainer Kat Koppett, this workshop will expose you to improvisational theatre techniques to increase engagement, understanding and retention, enhance creativity and problem-solving, and create a supportive, collaborative environment. Add some fun theatre games, group exercises and teamwork skills into your everyday teaching! Limit 30 teachers.

Media Classroom Bootcamp
In this workshop on team building through Project-Based learning, our instructor Mike Feurstein will lead you through a bootcamp of film making, editing and media technology- you’ll learn how to translate critical work into media projects that engage students and challenge them creatively. Limit 30 teachers.
