Fort Wayne Youtheatre is proud to present fun, exciting, and educational performances designed especially for school and homeschool groups. Our productions bring stories to life with literary, historical, and social significance, often aligning with Indiana Language Arts Standards to complement classroom learning. From beloved classics to thought-provoking new works, each show offers a dynamic way for students to engage with themes they’re already exploring in school.
Live theatre not only supports academic goals; it sparks creativity, empathy, and cultural awareness in young audiences, as well. Attending a Youtheatre performance gives students the unforgettable experience of learning through art, imagination, and storytelling. Bring your class—or your entire grade level—for an enriching field trip that connects curriculum to creativity.
School show ticket pricing varies per production. Teachers are always free! Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Ticket availability will be updated within the system. Please — only reserve what you will use.
If your institution requires an invoice for a paid production, please call the ArtsTix Box Office at 260-422-4226 to reserve your seats. Invoices must be paid within three weeks to guarantee seats will be held for your party.
Our Education Guides are packed with engaging, ready-to-use activities designed to connect each production to your classroom curriculum.
