Five for Twenty-Two (or Less)

We’ve all heard that age-old addage: Those who can’t do, teach (and those who can’t teach, teach gym). Below you’ll find this week’s selection of affordable performance endeavours, each featuring an element of learning. From educational discussion relating to theatre, to students producing their own works, to teachers showing off their own skills.
