Education
Education and Community Programs
Theater League is committed to bringing the best and the brightest of Broadway to the cities it serves, and we believe the arts are a vital part of a child's education. Theater League has created programs designed to introduce students and children’s community groups to the thrill and magic of live theater.
As audience members, children have a chance to experience Broadway right in their hometown. From audience to actor, box office to backstage, theatre provides a multitude of opportunities that relate to every aspect of education. Theater League works with educators, artistic directors, group leaders and professionals to create a unique and well-rounded experience for our future actors, directors, designers, producers and patrons.
Theater RocKs
Theater ROcKs (Reach Out to Kids) is a program designed to introduce young people to the magic of live Broadway Theater by giving them an opportunity to attend select productions at a special subsidized student discount. The program is unique in that it is supported and wholly funded by the generous donations of Theater League season subscribers and sponsors. By offering discounted tickets, Theater ROcKs is able to give many children their first opportunity to experience live Broadway musicals.
Theater ROcKs supports and cultivates an appreciation for the arts by providing educational opportunities ranging from question and answer sessions with actors, study guides provided for individual productions, master classes and back-stage tours. Each Theater ROcKs experience is unique and is created so that the children involved can get the most out of their theater experience.
Whether it is a study aid highlighting the historical perspective of a production, a master class taught by a show’s performers or a backstage tour highlighting the technical requirements of mounting a National Broadway tour, Theater ROcKs works to not only entertain students, but also educate them.
