Theater Arts Education
The Palace Theater runs a six-week after-school workshop each year for interested middle and high school students in the community. Each program explores the plot, characters, and music of one of our Broadway Series shows as well as connecting the show's themes to current events.
The education program is facilitated by professional teaching artists and guest speakers. Participation is free and includes a complimentary ticket to the studied Broadway show.
Instruments of Change: Building Creative Communities!
Classes meet on Mondays & Wednesdays; February 18 – March 30, 2026
This season’s 6-week after school arts-based program, based on Blue Man Group and Meredith Willson’s The Music Man, will examine concepts of growth, acceptance, individuality, and community and how they relate to the arts. Through creative expression, theater games, and critical analysis, students will explore the themes, characters, and music of both shows, while reflecting on what it means to be an instrument of change.
This free program is open to local 6-12 graders. As part of the program, students will attend performances of Blue Man Group (March 4) and The Music Man (June 3).
This program is made possible thanks to the generosity of the American Savings Foundation.
