"Northside Elementary School had the wonderful experience of working with Steve Roenker of My Nose Turns Red Theatre Company as a theater Artist in Residence through a grant from the Kentucky Arts Council. Our students truly enjoyed working with the very talented and vivacious Mr. Roenker. We would welcome the opportunity to have him at our school again."

Drama/Theater residencies provide an in-depth experience for your students. All residency projects begin with creative dramatics and conclude with a performance by your students. Many include mask-making. Residency projects are varied and are chosen to meet the school's curriculum needs. Projects are chosen to fit in with what is being studied in the class . Residency projects support Social Studies, Language, etc.

Residencies can be as short as one week and as long as nine months. Projects can focus on multi-cultural folktales, works of literature, or Renaissance Fairs.

"Steve Roenker of My Nose Turns Red worked with our students for two different projects and the students love him! Our deaf students enjoy his kind of physical theatre and they are able to easily apply conceptually what they've learned in both performance and in assessment."
