The La Mama Learning Program provides opportunities for students and educators to connect with the artists and theatre-makers at Melbourne’s home of Independent theatre.

To do this, the Learning Program continues to offer a diverse range of theatre activities for students and teachers, particularly in secondary and tertiary institutions – VCE Playlist productions, after-show Forums, Education Notes, published Scripts, Catch-up Study/Revision Sessions before the final exams, Professional Development Workshops, History of La Mama Talks and Tours, advice in selecting a suitable show for a group.

Our aim is to actively engage students in the process of practical investigation, to stimulate critical thinking and to encourage lively debate, as it relates to their prescribed coursework and contemporary performance. Overall we hope to promote the joy of theatre and to inspire an enduring engagement with it.
