CTC Study Guide 
Greetings, Teacher! 
Soon you and your class will see Snapshot Silhouette at The Children's Theatre Company. We have developed this Teacher's Study Guide to help make it a remarkable life experience for every person who attends. It is designed to be copied and used by teachers in their classrooms to prepare to see the play. Our purpose is to make this guide easy to use, so we've focused on summaries, hand outs, and topics for writing and discussion. The age range of students using this Guide is wide, so use what applies. Read, skim, use what suits your classrom, and enjoy! And thank you for making the arts a priority in your school. We look forward to seeing you!
