Utilities bring live theater to local schools

Member Utilities

Local utilities are teaming up once again with The National Theatre for Children to help local school staff teach and motivate the next generation of community leaders.

“It is such a positive opportunity for our member utilities to be able to provide this program through partnership with NTC and the local school district,” said Energy Services Manager Jenna Willi. “By guiding them through these concepts, the actors help area students better understand how their locally owned utility powers their community.”

While watching the 25-minute live assembly titled “Project Energy” unfold, students will learn about energy efficiency with the help of partners named Sure Luck Ohms and detective-in-training Wattson.

The professional actors playing these characters and others will take students along a mystery solving adventure while teaching them about energy conservation, electricity generation, energy waste and renewable resources.

Additional digital content expands on concepts taught during the in-school performance. For more information about “Project Energy,” visit nationaltheatre.com.
