Project Discovery has given more than 1.4 million students the chance to experience live professional theater at a discounted rate through student matinees. Through Project Discovery, we offer study guides, in-school workshops, and residencies for students, as well as professional development and preview nights for teachers.
Each season, we select an educational centerpiece show which is curriculum-tied as our Project Discovery Plus play. When a group purchases tickets to a Project Discovery performance, they receive a comprehensive written study guide PLUS up to three, free in-school workshops with their students. These workshops are led by our education and artistic staff as well as our actors and sometimes the creative team and can focus on themes, the production itself, Shakespearean language, acting, and more. We also provide a video study guide to be shown in the classroom. This year’s Project Discovery Plus play is La Tempestad — The Tempest.
Pricing:
$16/student ticket
$18/student ticket (December A Christmas Carol only)
1 free chaperone ticket for every 15 student seats purchased
$28/ticket for each additional chaperone
