“It's wonderful to have an opportunity to attend an educational performance, and I appreciate that the show accommodates all learning styles- private, public, homeschool, distance, etc.” exclaimed one teacher after attending a Discovery series performance last year.
“We all enjoyed this engaging performance! There was so much creativity involved, and the kiddos were in awe of the special effects. Many of my students had never experienced theater- or a city setting for that matter. (Several asked if we were in New York City). The theater itself is gorgeous, and my students were in awe of the architecture. One was convinced the box seat was where Lincoln was shot. It was an amazing cultural experience for our rural kids.” Shared another local teacher.
