Essential Theatre is committed to supporting the development and production of new work by Georgia playwrights.
In support of that mission, this page is intended to provide support, resources and encouragement to Georgia educators, with a particular focus on middle and high school educators.
In response to school closings due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we are offering the following educational resources for a limited time. These lesson plans are targeted towards students in grades 6-12 and focus primarily on Playwriting and Theatre Production. Check back regularly for additional offerings.
