EDUCATE, ENLIGHTEN & ENTERTAIN!
Calliope Theatre Company presents professional English-language theatre both for in-school and theatre performances.
Created by professionally trained, native English-speaking artists, Matthew Lloyd and Meg Thurin, Calliope Theatre Company takes great pride in the high-quality of its productions. Every show that we present features professional actors, lavish costumes, hand-painted scenery and lights & sound. Calliope Theatre Company tours English-language plays across Portugal and Spain with three shows carefully designed by educators to enhance students’ education of the English language and to introduce them to the joys of live theatre.
We are very excited about our new shows. For younger students, aged 4 to 8, we will present our retelling of the beloved fairy-tale, Jack and the Beanstalk, full of exciting characters, new and old! For students, aged 9 to 13, join us for adventure on the high seas in The Lost Treasure of Tortuga. For older students, aged 14 and up, we present our adaptation of Shakespeare’s famous play Macbeth as you’ve never seen it before!
And as always, your students will become the "stars of the show" as they join us for the on-stage fun. Every teacher receives our comprehensive Study Guides, filled with lessons and activities, to enhance your students’ understanding of the story.
We take a great deal of pride in the high quality of our productions and we look forward to performing for you and your students!
