Pivotal Productions is proud to announce the most innovative theatre education program available for Staten Island students grades 7 and up, Pivotal Stages & Pivotal Stages: On Tour. At Pivotal Productions, we feel that it is our obligation to educate students of all ages in all realms of traditional theatrical practices. With our newly launched education programs we accept the responsibility to not only educate but to challenge a new generation of young theatre professionals.
Pivotal Stages, will offer classes and workshops to build and cultivate a foundation of skills either in a student's specific area of interest, or to nurture what they've already learned. Pivotal Stages: On Tour, simply put is our education program on wheels, where we come to you! We will partner with Staten Island schools; having young theatre professionals offer workshops to any student interested. Our education programs provide a platform to teach and instill traditional practices within our youth, while in turn positively influencing the arts community of Staten Island. Another aspect of education at Pivotal Productions is our internship program; we will offer internship opportunities for all regularly staffed positions. In other words, there will be a learning opportunity for every position available within the team of each production. This includes all administrative, technical, and creative roles in any given production. Pivotal Productions, is where traditional theatre meets a new generation. Here is an example of a workshop we offer among our many other programs...
Production Workshop
During this semester long intensive, students and staff work together to produce a full live performance as the final product. Students will have the opportunity to shadow and collaborate with the creative staff as well as perform in the show. This program is designed to emerge students not only in the performing arts, but to emerge those interested in the "behind the scenes" aspect as well. This includes creative, technical, and administrative aspects of the production.
Opportunities Include:

- "Hands on" experiences
- Strengthening artistic skills
- Being a part of a creative team
- "Behind the scenes" opportunities
- Learning all aspects of a theatre production
This program is a semester long intensive, or a minimum of 15 weeks, twice a week.
