The Emelin School Outreach Program is back!
School Outreach tickets are now on sale. Please call 914.698.3045 for reservations, or email boxoffice@emelin.org.
Since 1997, the Emelin’s subsidized School Outreach Program has brought thousands of children into the theatre from a variety of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. For many, this is their first experience with live theatre. As budget cutbacks at schools have limited our arts education programs, the Emelin’s School Outreach Program fills a critical need.
The productions are predominantly based on children’s literature and represent a variety of educational, social and historical themes. All productions are tied to curriculum and are accompanied by study guides which teachers can incorporate into classroom discussion.
