Texas Performing Arts has centered educational programing in tandem with our season for over 30 years. Students and teachers from public, private and charter schools as well as homeschool groups across Central Texas and beyond are invited to attend Broadway School Day Performances annually at Bass Concert Hall. These daytime performances by touring Broadway professionals provide a unique and valuable experience to students across the Greater Austin area.
Texas Performing Arts provides learning materials for classroom connections to prepare students in advance of each performance.
Information about Broadway School Day Performances is sent out to Central Texas School Districts and individuals who have signed up for our Texas Performing Arts Education mailing list. For more information, please contact the Education & Engagement Team.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, participating schools are offered admission to these performances at a highly reduced cost. Broadway School Day Performances are often times in high demand and availability may be limited. We highly suggest applying by the sign-up deadline. Applications received after the deadline may be considered on a rolling basis. A waiting list will be implemented once requests exceed our seating capacity.
The Broadway School Day Performance is a paid and ticketed event. For information about our School Day Performances with free admission, please visit here.
