A group of students after seeing Assassins through the Roundabout Education Program.
By the mid-1990s, Roundabout had already become well-known for its innovative education programs. In 1996, these programs expanded significantly under the leadership of Roundabout's first full-time education director. Roundabout initiated residencies for teaching artists in the public schools (Page to Stage) while offering teachers in-house professional development programs.
Roundabout's education efforts soon deepened to include long-term, multiple classroom partnerships with individual schools (Producing Partners). This laid the groundwork for Roundabout's most in-depth partnership with the New York City Department of Education, the creation of three new small high schools that opened in 2003 and 2004. Further, the company created a career development program for college students and graduates interested in theatre-related careers.
