Partnering with Educators. Engaging Students. Integrating STEAM and the Common Core
Mission
IP COE (Community Outreach and Education) is your partner in arts transformation, fostering appreciation, understanding, and love of the performing arts by partnering with the public and private educational community and provides scholarships to its students who exhibit financial need and exemplary skills in the performing arts.
Improv Playhouse® Theater for Young Audiences (IP-TYA) commenced 5 years ago with a commitment to engaging students and enhancing communities through the performing arts. We strive to highlight the importance of imaginative thinking and giving children the opportunity to solve problems on their own volition. Our entertaining, musical shows bring well-known stories to life to teach children valuable lessons of respect, fairness, and initiative. Our first show was a devised adaptation of Peter and the Wolf and we’ve gone on to create new devised works each year including:
- Ranger Tales: The True Stories of America’s National Parks and the Environment
- The Ugly Duckling
- Colors of Thunder
- Halloween Spooktacular
- The Play about PLAY!
- The Diary of Anne Frank
- The Chronicles of Narnia
- Stone Soup
- Mini Masterpieces: A Collage of Short Story Classics
- Hansel and Gretel
- The Three Little Pigs
- Little Red Riding Hood
- The Emperor’s New Clothes
- Rumplestiltskin
