In this episode of The Brighter Futures Podcast, we sit down with Rodman for Kids’ Director of Programs, Bill Stiles, to explore the CUE Model – Connect, Uplift, Empower – and how it transforms a theatre trip into a meaningful learning experience.
From preparing students before they ever step into a theater to ensuring performances are accessible for all learners and creating opportunities for reflection afterward, Bill shares how intentional program design helps young people build lasting connections to the arts and deepen the impact of every Theatre for Kids experience.
Together, we explore how connection, accessibility, and opportunity can help young people discover new passions, build their own relationship with the performing arts, and broaden their horizons long after the curtain closes.
