THEATRE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES
THEATRE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES 2025-26 Season
During the Spring and Fall semesters, Theatre for Young Audiences offers affordable, age-appropriate field trip opportunities showing students 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 provide an opportunity for our patrons with younger children and grandchildren 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!
