About The Organization
StageWrite in its 20th year of operation serves San Francisco public school communities with theatre arts residencies that integrate drama and literacy skills. Our work centers social-emotional learning and uses improvisation and storytelling as tools to amplify creative self-expression, increase student engagement, and strengthen school communities.
StageWrite empowers youth to become actively engaged in their education and passionate about learning through the theatre arts. We employ dramatic activities to involve young people in reading, writing, speaking, and listening as a holistic and meaningful communication process. Through the communal art of theatre, young people build skills in creative expression, collaboration, and critical thinking: all necessary components of becoming literate and engaged members of an equitable society.
StageWrite’s core programming consists of; school residencies with a Literacy through Theatre Program and ADAPTS (Autism & Drama with Artists, Parents, Teachers & Students) Program, teaching artist training, teacher professional development, and community events. To best serve our partner communities, StageWrite values the diversity of our teaching artist staff, placing artists in classroom residencies where they share a common language, race-based affinity, or lived experiences with the students.
