Blue Apple’s major programs include: Educational musicals - created by Blue Apple address sensitive topics such as teen pregnancy or adolescent suicide as well as American history and adaptations of folktales that present timeless values such as honesty and responsibility. Drama for Learning; Drama for Life - education workshops in over 70 schools, libraries, and community centers each year. Curricula created by our educators improve literacy and other vital academic and developmental skills. Continuing Education - programs for educators, social workers, and other professionals. Topics range from team building to custom-designed programs. A statewide program uses drama to train social workers in forensic interviewing for child abuse.
