About the Program

“Thank you all for an inspiring and magnificent morning at the Skirball and Noah's Ark. The teachers have said it was one of their favorite PDs we have ever done (and we have done a lot!).” 

Schedule your professional development workshop aboard Noah’s Ark at the Skirball! Groups of teachers—from schools, districts, camps, after-school programs, and beyond —will explore the transformative power of puppetry, storytelling, and team building through movement, music, and theater arts.
