After the Final Bow

In this episode of The Brighter Futures Podcast, Julie Little, Guidance Coordinator at Attleboro High School, joins us to explore how thoughtful preparation, meaningful experiences, and reflection can turn a trip to the theatre into something that stays with students long after the final bow.

Through Rodman for Kids’ CUE Model, Julie shares how educators help students feel prepared and welcomed, use live theatre to broaden horizons and inspire curiosity, and carry those experiences back into the classroom and beyond. From seeing Hamilton at the Citizens Opera House for the first time to discovering their own confidence as leaders, Julie’s stories demonstrate why Theatre for Kids is about more than a ticket – it’s about removing barriers, creating opportunities, and helping young people see what’s possible for their futures.
