The Colonial
is passionately invested in the cultural health of our community
through our commitment to providing outreach for the underserved
and educational opportunities for all ages. Our educational
programs are designed to engage children, teens, and adults in
the artistic process, cultivate appreciation of the performing
arts, and make the performing arts a vital and fundamental part
of school and community life.
The Colonial Student Matinee Series offers high-quality
performances
that compliment school curriculum and illustrate
the dynamic relationship between the performing arts and
literature, history, science and world cultures. The series also
includes events that introduce art forms outside the curriculum.
An important resource for area educators, the Student Matinee
Series brings quality performing arts experiences to an average
of 8,000 school children from 120-plus schools each year. (over
1000+ teachers and parents who home school children) The
Colonial also creates comprehensive study guides that teachers,
students, and parents can
use to help prepare and reflect upon the performances.
Thank you to the
Friends of the Colonial Theatre for their generous support of the
Education and Outreach mission of The Colonial Theatre.
