Disney Theatricals Productions — also known as Disney on Broadway — created an educational curriculum that was previously only offered for in-classroom learning. Now, this immersive arts experience called The Lion King Experience, has been released as a free and virtual course. It is available to all students, parents and teachers who want to learn music theatre skills from the comfort of their homes.
The Lion King Experience
Adapted as a theatre education program that is taught through the lens of Disney’s The Lion King, this program launched in 2015 was the first of its kind. Never before had a hit Broadway musical developed a specialized program meant for young children to perform their own small-scale adaptations of the show.
Disney Theatricals Free Virtual Theatre Curriculum
The program is meant to challenge young students through teaching them theatre skills in the following areas — directing, technical theatre, play writing, designing, production and reflection to name a few.

These now unlocked at-home video sessions offer course layouts of eleven sessions for students ages eight through eleven, and eighteen sessions for students ages twelve through fifteen years old. The courses come with supplementary materials and can all be accessed through the Disney Theatrical Group site for The Lion King Experience HERE.
