CONCEPT
STUDENTS VOTE FOR THE STORY
Rooftop Productions is dedicated to bringing innovative ideas to schools. In this programme, we are introducing “Immersive Theatre” (a popular contemporary genre) as an ideal way of delivering Global Citizenship education. Students will participate in the show by voting on every decision that the protagonist, a puppet called Jackie, has to make. Jackie’s decisions reflect the choices students will encounter in their everyday lives, especially in relation to their roles as global citizens.
