Disney Musicals in Schools

Disney Musicals in Schools is a program that develops sustainable musical theatre programs in public elementary schools.

“Disney Musical in Schools” is an initiative developed by Disney Theatrical Productions to create sustainable theater programs in under-resourced elementary schools. Coordinated by Goodman Theatre artists Adrian Azevedo and Anna Gelman, under the leadership of Walter Director of Education and Engagement Willa J. Taylor, the five area public elementary schools received performance rights to a Disney musical of their choice, at no cost. In January, the selected schools began their a 17-week musical theater residency, with each school receiving education support materials and guidance from Goodman Theatre teaching artists—Breon Arzell, Joelle LaMarre, Brandi Lee, Darian Tene, Tommy Rivera-Vega, Ana Velazquez and Paul Whitehouse.
