Youth & Education
Experiencing world class performances and exhibitions provides students and teachers a conduit for sharing creative conversations and engaging in critical debates on big ideas and global issues as well as motivating their creative practice. This allows them to develop as active and interrogative theatregoers and cultural critics, all stimulated by the exciting works in the program.
Thanks to the generous philanthropic support of the Nunn Dimos Foundation and the Foskett Foundation, the commitment to discounted prices for students will continue for 2026 along with the delivery of Teacher Guides for selected performances.
School Bookings & Teacher Resources
Discounted prices for school bookings will be available for select shows in 2026. Prices will be $20 per student or $15 per student for Equity (Category 1-4 DfE & CE schools). With thanks to the generosity of the Nunn Dimos Foundation and The Foskett Foundation.
Teacher resources for select shows will be available following the full program launch in October.
