Curriculum Connections

Our Mainstage shows are recommended for pre-k through 5th grade. Performances highlight:

• Stories, art, literature, and music from around the world
• Dramatic arts, and both verbal and non-verbal expression
• Visual design, construction, and engineering
• Values such as sharing, teamwork, friendship, bravery, and environmental conservation

Pricing

Our field trip rate is $14 per person, with a $600 minimum. Rates and capacity limits apply to all guests, including adult chaperones and teachers.

If price is a barrier for you, our Mary Churchill Memorial Fund provides full and partial scholarships for groups with limited access to financial resources or those who serve low-income populations. You can apply while filling out the field trip request form below.
