Our education performance season for 2008-2009 will showcase the magic of puppetry, dance, music, and theater from the USA, Canada, Puerto Rico, Peru, and Taiwan. School performances happen during the weekday and are generally no longer than an hour including a talkback session between students and performers. Tickets are $6.50 per student with one free adult chaperone ticket for every 10 students. For an additional cost schools can also book pre-show workshops or residencies with quality teaching artists who can provide students a hands-on learning experience based on the art forms, themes and cultures found in the upcoming show at Flushing Town Hall.
