Education With a Spark of Magik


Magik Theatre, for over 17 years, has been successful in enchanting the youth of San Antonio with their imaginative performances, while at the same time educating through creative actions. The Magik Theatre can make a teacher’s dream come true; literature brought to life with theatrics that captures the attention of students. They offer six different intellectually inspiring programs created to benefit children of all ages.

The Magik Theatre makes it easy for teachers to incorporate the theater’s productions into the classroom, before and after the students attend a performance, with Magik’s comprehensive study guides include fun and developmental activities for the children. The Magik Theatre also assists schools in need of transportation to the theater with their “Magik Theatre on the Road” program. “Camp Showbiz” is a worthwhile way for kids to spend a portion of their summers. This program is a two week day camp teaching the campers everything they need to know to put on a show of their own. What a great way to trigger a child’s creativity!

Everyone knows that when kids reach middle school and high school Shakespeare is a force to be reckoned with in the classroom. Magik’s “Shakespeare Speaks” program brings performance workshops to the students, in an attempt to make Shakespeare’s works more enjoyable and understandable to the modern day student, in hopes to further their interest in Shakespearian literature. If a student already craves more Shakespearian entertainment, chances are they will want to attend “Shakespeare in the Park”, a free event for the whole family to enjoy in the surroundings of some of San Antonio’s most beautiful outdoor locations.

For more information on the mentioned programs, along with other worthwhile programs the Magik Theatre has to offer, check out their website for production dates and enrollment forms at magiktheatre.org.

Magik Theatre is one of the 27 affiliate organizations supported by theFund.
