School Year 2026-27

Hello, educators!

The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State extends warm wishes for a school year filled with learning, empathy-building, growth, and fun.

During the 2026–27 school year, we are pleased to offer two one-hour performing-arts events at 10 a.m. at Eisenhower Auditorium.

The arts are a powerful tool to open both minds and hearts. We hope you and your learners will have much to discuss in class both prior to and after experiencing a live performance. In addition to the rich, substantive curriculum* we provide for each School-Time Matinee, we are teaming up with the Galaxy Arts in Education program, a partner organization of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and Central Intermediate Unit 10, to offer artist residency options that enhance the curriculum integration in your learning environment. For more information, contact Karen Woods, Galaxy program coordinator, at kwoods@ciu10.org.

We can’t wait to see you at the theatre!
