An opportunity to extend the classroom by bringing students to the theater. We include the following as part of your field trip experience:

> A study guide to prepare students for the production
> A Professional from Playhouse on Park will travel to your school and lead a workshop for students, teaching them about elements of this production
> A post-show discussion or a meet and greet with the cast



Read some feedback from teachers who have
experienced Literature Alive at Playhouse on Park.

THE MAIN STREET KIDS CLUB: A MATHSTART MUSICAL
Grade Pre K – 4, $6 per student
November 12 – 22, 2013
This musical for young audiences explores math in a fun, musical adventure.  The Main Street Kids use treasure maps, lemonade stands, math, and friendship to find success.  By the author of Schoolhouse Rock Live!

HIGGINS IN HARLEM
Grade 6 - 12, $10 per student
March 10 – 21, 2014
Higgins in Harlem takes George Bernard Shaw’s classic PYGMALION, the inspiration for the beloved musical MY FAIR LADY, and resets it in Harlem 1938. The social commentary inherent in the story is that, just like in Shaw’s London, lower-class dialects in our country have limited Americans from achieving their potential.
