Field trips run from 10:00AM-12:30PM on the date you book and include a workshop and a tour experience for a maximum of 45 students per day. The two-hour field trip includes a drama workshop + a backstage tour for students.
Field trips consist of a backstage tour and a workshop experience. When booking your field trip, you can choose from the following workshop topics: Stories Alive (grades K-5), Actor's Toolbox (grades 3-8), and Intro to Improvisation (grades 5-12).
In this engaging one-hour backstage tour, students explore the hidden world of theatre beyond the curtain! The tour includes our two theatres (Sutton Theatre and Gaddy Theatre), backstage areas, the costume shop, and scene shop. They'll step onto both of our stages to experience the actor's perspective and learn about the many behind-the-scenes roles that bring a production to life. New this year, our Sensory/Tactile bins in the Scene and Costume Shops allow students to SEE real props used in past performances and to TOUCH a variety of costume fabrics.
Your group is welcome to have lunch outdoors in the Amphitheater or Rose Garden after the workshop and tour experiences conclude. Each group will need to supply their own lunches. No food or drink is available to purchase on site.
