2023-2024 ARTS-IN-EDUCATION PERFORMANCES

The St. George Theatre is proud to announce our Arts-in-Education series for the 2023-2024 academic year, sponsored by Chase and Richmond University Medical Center!

This year’s programming will include shows that are fun and entertaining for your students, and that also connect to your curriculum to make learning exciting and engaging! This year, students have the opportunity to learn about the American Civil Rights Movement through the story of Jackie Robinson, to be enlightened hearing the first-person stories of Holocaust survivors, and to be excited seeing literary favorites, like Willy Wonka, Charlotte’s Web, and Peter and the Wolf, come to life!

From the moment the students step off the school bus and onto the red carpet, they will be amazed by the beautiful interior architecture, murals, winding staircases, and oversized chandeliers. The students will be entertained by a live pre-organ show prior to the main attraction live performance.

All in-person shows will start at 10:00am and have a runtime of approximately 60-70 minutes. Tickets are $12 per student/chaperone, or $15 for prime seating. 1 free school staff member per 12 students.

While we are excited to welcome students and teachers back into our audiences this year, we understand that some students may be unable to attend our in-person performances. To make theatre as accessible as possible, we also have a selection of VIRTUAL shows that will be offered in Winter 2024, which will be offered free of charge.

LIVE PERFORMANCES

Charlotte's Web Key Art Title

Charlotte’s Web
Wednesday, May 15, 2024 LIMITED AVAILABILITY!
Grades: K – 5

Charlotte’s Web is based on E.B. White’s loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte. Wilbur has a problem: how to avoid winding up as pork chops! Charlotte, a fine writer and true friend, hits on a plan to fool Farmer Zuckerman. She will create a “miracle.” Spinning the words “Some Pig” in her web, Charlotte weaves a solution which not only makes Wilbur a prize pig but also ensures his place on the farm forever.

Alexander

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Monday, May 20, 2024
Grades: 1 – 5

Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A horrible day. To be quite honest, it’s a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But then, everybody has bad days, sometimes. Not only does Alexander wake up with gum in his hair, but his mother forgets to pack him dessert, and his best friend decides he’s not his best friend anymore. And if that’s not bad enough, Alexander’s brothers don’t have any cavities but — he does. And just when it can’t get any worse, there are lima beans for supper and — yuck! — kissing on TV.

THEMES: Literature and Literacy, Perseverance, Positivity
