Art Assembly

Art Assembly Programs offer regional youth the opportunity to experience today's most innovative performing artists in our professional theater spaces. Three to four live theater, dance and music performances are offered each year, geared to school-age audiences. The history of Jazz music, the magic of dance, puppetry, and circus theatrics, are just some of the many exciting offerings of past Art Assembly Programs. The goal of these educational programs is two-fold: to broaden children’s experiences with art and to reveal ideas about the world using a multiplicity of modalities and art forms. Teachers are provided with teacher activity guides to help prepare students for the theater experience and to make connections to classroom activities.
