Edina High School’s Theater for All program brings this beloved children’s tale to life.
Established in 2014 by Lisa Hanson & Jessica Froehlich, Edina High School’s Theatre for All program brings Unified programming to theatre. In Fall 2023 Jane Froiland and Hannah Bast stepped in as the new teachers and directors off this special program. This course pairs special needs students with typical peers. These pairs create and perform their roles together. This partnership model allows students who typically do not get the opportunity to engage in performance the chance to be center stage. By the end of the course, students have created a show which they share with the community at the Edina Performing Arts Center. The best way to understand how it works is to attend a show!
