Playhouse Theatre Academy's LITERATURE ALIVE Field Trip Program is an opportunity to extend the classroom and experience live, professional theatre at Playhouse on Park.

As part of the field trip experience, the following will be provided: a study guide to prepare students for the production; a professional from Playhouse on Park will travel to your school and lead a workshop for students, teaching them about elements of the production; a post-show Q&A with the cast.

Playhouse on Park is also thrilled to present their first ever touring production, POLKADOTS: THE COOL KIDS MUSICAL. They are taking this show on the road and bringing it to schools! It's recommended for grades K-5, and field trips can be booked Monday through Friday, March 6-31, 2023.
