THEATRE

Our Theatre for Young Audiences program offers affordable, age-appropriate field trip opportunities exposing students to the magic of live theatre. Educators will value these shows for the classroom extension possibilities, with a broad range of interdisciplinary learning opportunities that students will love.  

The weekend public performances of our TYA shows provide an opportunity for our patrons with younger children to see a lively and engaging show that is age-appropriate, shorter in the length, and with ticket prices so low, the whole family can come!
