School Day Performances 

Free daytime performances
for K-12 students 

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 School Day Performances in our theaters throughout the school year. These daytime performances by regional, national and international artists represent a variety of arts disciplines as we welcome learners of all ages to experience live performing arts, many for the first time.

Texas Performing Arts provides TEKS-aligned learning materials for classroom connections to prepare students in advance of each performance.

Information about 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 no cost. School Day Performances are often times in high demand and availability is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Support for TPA School Day Performances is provided by H-E-B Tournament of Champions, the William & Anita Cochran Endowment for Performing Arts Access & Education, the Kathy Panoff Texas Performing Arts Student Engagement Endowment, the Joann and Gaylord Jentz Endowment for Student Engagement, the Alex and Dee Massad Endowment Fund, Applied Materials Foundation, and Kristin & Joshua Alexander.
