subtlenuance is excited to offer this theatrical opportunity for school students. We believe that theatre should be accessible to a wide variety of audiences and so we have created the Special Offer - $10 Student Matinee Tickets for this production of talc.
Talc is both a heart breaking tale of what we’ll do to fit in, and an uplifting journey to a world where we can all belong. As such, we believe it will engage and amuse both younger audiences and those new to the theatrical experience. This production is suitable for Year 10 Drama students but also particularly suitable as related material for Year 11 and 12 English students for the HSC 2009 - 2012 Area of Study: Belonging.
All bookings receive comprehensive pre and post production teacher resources and students are welcome to take part in the optional post show Q & A with the cast and director of talc.
As educators themselves, subtlenuance founders, Daniela Giorgi and Paul Gilchrist understand the energy and enthusiasm required by inspiring teachers and are pleased to provide complimentary tickets to all teachers that accompany students to this matinee performance of talc.
We look forward to welcoming you and your students!
