Artist in Residence FAQs

We offer this program to all school-aged children from preschool through high school.

We offer four different kinds of residencies: During School, After School, Performance Residency, and Workshop Residency. Please click here for details on each program!

Each residency varies in cost based on the duration of the program. We will run a budget unique to each residency and send preliminary numbers to the host school for review. We factor in salary for our Teaching Artists, travel, supplies, production rights (for a full performance), and overhead fees to determine the cost of a program.

We do our best to follow a 12 to 1 student to teacher ratio. If the residency supports a large group of students, we will send two Teaching Artists to the host school. We will always discuss what is best for each residency in order to ensure a successful, balanced program for all involved.

Our residency programs are for schools who are looking for a drama program or already have one that Wolf PAC can enhance. The benefits of the dramatic arts are plentiful; critical thinking, ensemble-building, creativity, building confidence and more! An Artist in Residence program can supplement existing curriculum during the school day or offer an after-school production where our professional Teaching Artists lead students from rehearsals to opening night of a show. Wherever a host school sees fit, the dramatic arts are beneficial to all children.
