Educational Outreach

Welcome to the HANS: My Life in Fairy Tales Educational Outreach Hub! Here, teachers, students and families can access free downloadable resources designed to enhance the theatre experience. Whether you're preparing to see the show or continuing your engagement afterwards, these are fun, accessible ways into the life and stories of Hans Christian Andersen! 

Download the activity book and watch short videos of Hans' Fairy Tales, tailored for classroom or at-home learning.

Or contact us to book a "Rick Miller on STORYTELLING" workshop, perfect for elementary, middle and high schools. 

"Rick's infectious energy and enthusiasm filled the room, engaging all the students in the creative process and inspiring them to find and share their voices.  Every student was able to produce a piece of writing that was truly meaningful to them, and then were inspired to think about how to share those stories in engaging ways. A truly memorable experience, and one that gives me as a teacher so much on which to build!" (Tom Veenstra, Market Lane PS teacher, Toronto)
