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.
Grades 3-12
This Interactive Field Trip introduces 3rd-12th grade students to music and movement from Back to the Future: The Musical! Inspired by the science fiction film classic, Back to the Future: The Musical! follows Marty McFly and Doc Brown as they travel back in time to 1955 to fix the present before it’s too late!
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.
Please note, the maximum number of students we are able to host for an Interactive Field Trip varies based on a number of factors, including staffing and space availability. The Orpheum Theatre Group reserves the right to set the maximum capacity number for any Interactive Field Trip at registration based on these varying factors.
The Orpheum Theatre Group strives to make the arts available to everyone. We offer many services for patrons with special needs. When you register, please indicate any accessibility arrangements your group will require (i.e. wheelchairs, listening devices, ASL interpreter, etc.).
We start promptly at the scheduled start time but encourage school groups to plan to arrive between 5-15 minutes before the start time. All classes will be held in the Halloran Centre for Performing Arts & Education (next door to the Orpheum Theatre) at 225 S. Main Street. Our Education and Community Engagement Department staff will meet the group in the lobby upon arrival.
