The Gamm Theatre’s Education Department is pleased to herald the return of its in-school residency program in a new and exciting format. During the winter and spring of 2026, Gamm on the Go will collaborate with public and private schools across the state to provide students with access to exciting theatrical experiences designed to engage their creative and civic minds.
Gamm on the Go is the Gamm’s in-school residency program designed to reach students in K-12 schools and community organizations across the state and surrounding region. For three weeks teaching artists will develop curriculum for and rehearse a presentation and workshop series surrounding a classic work.
