Blue

Learning resources for high school classrooms

We are excited to give teachers and students a glimpse into the story, music and images of Lyric's 2024 production of Blue. The presentation below serves to prepare classes for the performance experience. It can be used as a quick reference or a longer study guide with prompts for deeper consideration both before and after coming to the theater.

This slide deck contains:

  • A list of characters
  • A summary of the story
  • Literary and artistic themes
  • Listening examples
  • About the writers
  • Discussion prompts

Click on the three dots on the bottom left corner of the deck to expand to a full-screen view.
