Together, The Human Race and Muse Machine collaborated on Theatre in Context to develop theatre experiences for students, both in the school and as part of the regular audience of a mainstage performance of The Human Race. We work to develop teacher development tools and student study materials that help to tie the theatre experiences directly to the curriculum.
