These programs are offered through our area schools with students in grades Pre-K through 12. Students are bussed in to see the performance during the school day. The performances provide an exciting extension into the classroom, coinciding with your child's curriculum and educational objectives. Our school day performances spark the imagination and demonstrate the impact and importance of the arts in our children's lives. Check with your child's school to see if they are participants in this wonderful program, and join us as we encourage our young people to be "Arts Explorers!" Registration is required through your child's school or home schoolers. Please contact the Outreach and Education Department for more information.
