About this Interactive Field Trip

This Interactive Field Trip introduce 3rd-12th grade students to music and movement inspired by The Great Gatsby, a dazzling musical that brings the Roaring Twenties of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel to life. This Broadway musical comes to the Orpheum stage December 1-6, 2026, but this special Interactive Field Trip experience is available to school groups on select dates throughout the school year. This field trip builds students' speaking, listening, and critical thinking skills and is fun and engaging for all experience and ability levels. 

Broadway Basics integrates Tennessee State Standards in Fine Arts with Tennessee State Standards in English Language Arts.

Available for bookings December 1, 2026 – April 30, 2027 by inquiry only.

More Information

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.

Classes begin promptly at the scheduled time. We recommend arriving 5-15 minutes early. All sessions take place at the Halloran Centre for Performing Arts & Education, 225 S. Main Street, next to the Orpheum Theatre. Our Education and Community Engagement staff will greet the group in the lobby. 

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.).
