The Museum of the City of New York
Liz Parker and Carrie Ellman-Larsen co-directed a theatre program for High School students at the Museum of the City of New York in 2011 and 2012. This program used theatre to activate Museum archives and exhibits. Students created original performances in response to the content explored.
On Stage: Discovering New York's Diversity Through Theatre, 2011
'On Stage' focused on the history of immigration in New York City and how this has been represented in works of theatre over time. Students worked with primary sources from the museum to help create a final performance.
ACTivism, 2012
ACTivism focused on the Activist New York exhibit, with a special lens to the Federal Theatre Project and the Living Newspaper. Students created modern Living Newspaper plays based on issues of resonance to them.
