The master's research entitled OPEN THE CURTAINS: A theatrical montage as an inclusive pedagogical practice for Teaching Theater aims to analyze the process of mounting a theatrical play, through a pedagogical practice that considers the participation of children with and without disabilities in a school context. The montage was linked to the school's Literature and Art Project, which this year honored the writer Ariano Suassuna. Each class were responsible for one of his works. The choice was made by the Portuguese Language and Art teachers, and the 9th graders received the play A Pena e a Lei. This study takes place in the municipal school Benvinda Nunes Teixeira, in the municipality of Guamaré/RN, in three 9th grade classes (A, B, and C), in the afternoon shift, but this analysis focuses on the 9th grade A class, which had thirty-one students, including two students with disabilities. Through this work, we saw that it is possible to use theatrical production as a pedagogical practice, involving students with and without disabilities throughout the process.
