Interactive Field Trips

Grades K-2

Stepping Into the Story gives K-2nd grade students the opportunity to explore their favorite books through their bodies, voices, and imaginations. This field trip engages students in a hands-on, immersive workshop that explores creativity, literacy, and critical thinking as they take the story off the page and onto the stage. Classrooms will explore the book Thank You, Omu! by Oge Mora (Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Award Winner).

Grades 3-12

This Interactive Field Trip introduces 3rd-12th grade students to music and movement inspired by The Great Gatsby, a dazzling musical that brings the Roaring Twenties of F.

This field trip builds students' speaking, listening, and critical thinking skills and is fun and engaging for all experience and ability levels.

Grades 3-12

How do we give students permission to feel? Young people need tools to name, express, and regulate complex emotions and feelings. Actors are experts at using the tools of body, voice, and imagination to walk in a characters’ shoes and express emotions. Infusing literacy and fine arts standards, an Orpheum Theatre Group Teaching Artist will guide 3rd-8th grade students through building an emotion vocabulary, telling stories to understand emotional responses, and standing in a characters’ shoes to imagine the causes behind feelings and reactions. Students will imagine and reflect on their own emotions in a culminating performance with their peers.
