ArtsBoston Launches ARTventurous

ArtsBoston announced today the official launch of Get ARTventurous presented by MassMutual (www.artsboston.org/adventure) offering over 8,000 half-price tickets to more than 50 spring performances for kids and teens, fun activities in partnership with BostonCentral, and an exclusive opportunity to enter-to-win one year family memberships to the Museum of Science and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Get ARTventurous runs March 24 - April 28, 2014.

"The start of spring marks a perfect time to set off on some amazing arts adventures," said Catherine Peterson, Executive Director of ArtsBoston. "Our region is rich with cultural offerings that will inspire, entertain and educate your kids including local favorites like Blue Man Group and Boston Children's Theatre's world premiere of The Homework Machine, to touring productions like Big Apple Circus Luminocity which opens tomorrow on City Hall Plaza. And because the half-price deals are powered by nonprofit BosTix, every dollar spent gets reinvested back into the local arts community, helping sustain arts programming year-round."

The kid-friendly shows being offered at half-price include the East Coast premiere of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon presented by Wheelock Family Theatre, the joyful Disney Junior Live On Tour! Pirate & Princess Adventure at the Agganis Arena, and the National Marionette Theatre's Beauty and the Beast presented by Puppet Showplace Theatre.

In addition, Get ARTventurous includes great deals for thought provoking and highly entertaining performances perfect for teens including Zakir Hussain & Masters of Percussion at Symphony Hall presented by World Music/CRASHarts, Sondheim & Lapine's timeless musical Into the Woods presented by the Lyric Stage Company, and Moscow Festival Ballet's unique production of Sleeping Beauty presented by Music Worcester.
