Members of Chicago's Goodman Theatre Studies program collaborated with the Matrix teens in the development of some of the scenes for this year's production when they visited the theatre in September of this year. They also participated in a learning exchange where the Goodman youth and Matrix teens shared their processes with each other. "We got some great ideas from the students at the Goodman that we can put into practice with our teens, and they learned some new ideas from us, as well," said Andrea Scobie, Matrix Director of Education. "It was a great experience for everyone."
