Playmakers Laboratory Theatre Details
PlayMakers Laboratory is an arts education theater ensemble that works in Chicago elementary schools (third through fifth grades) with some of the most under-served students in the city. Our mission is to create an alternative learning environment in which children share their personal voices and celebrate the power of their imaginations. PML accomplishes this through creative writing workshops and in-school performances of children's stories. Barrel of Monkeys also engages the broader community in support of the visions of children through public performances of their work. Barrel of Monkeys' programming is comprised of three branches: the in-school residency program, after-school programs, and public performances. While each of these branches of our programming is essential to our mission of empowering the youth of Chicago's creative voices, our in-school residency program is the core work of our organization. Objectives are to:Teach fundamental creative writing skills;Provide a safe and supportive learning environment;Build self-esteem and confidence in children;Adapt stories written by children for the stage by professional actors;and Present a smart, funny theater experience.
