FreshBaked Theatre Co. of Widener University

Hope is the thing with feathers, as Emily Dickinson reminds us.

While FreshBaked Theatre Co. of Widener University has a long tradition of on campus performances for local children, this semester we are bringing interactive drama workshops to Chester schools. We explore the myth of Pandora's Box, and how Hope hides in unexpected places.

(Pictured: our 4/10 visit to Edgmont Scholars Academy).

Bravo on our opening school workshop with local 3rd, 4th. &:5th graders. A highlight was naming our fears and "locking" them away (and bringing them to live through creative movement)

If YOU had a box like Pandora & Epimethius, what fear or Trouble would YOU lock inside?

Flying the Hope Bird was also special! Thanks to teachers & staff for welcoming us!

Pandora's Gift: a workshop in progress for grades 3-5. Loving the creative journey today with first year student Kyla Fox!
