In this episode of Afterpiece, Annie and Billy explore how theatre classrooms can support student wellness without crossing professional boundaries. Through practical examples, they discuss how warm-ups, check-ins, reflection, predictable rehearsal structures, and clear expectations help students regulate, feel safe, and build belonging. The conversation centers on realistic strategies theatre educators can use to support mental health while knowing when referral to trained professionals is necessary.
