The Touring Arts Program provides at least two performances, with additional extended learning opportunities such as workshops and master classes, for each grade level of public school students each year—at no charge to students or their parents. Private and home school students are invited to attend as well. We have a great lineup of performances for the 2007—2008 school year, which was selected with input from a teacher and student advisory panel:
