FIELD TRIPS

Theatre for Young Audiences

Introduce your students to the world of live theatre!

For many children in North Georgia, a Gainesville Theatre Alliance field trip is their first chance to see a story come to life onstage, creating a memorable shared experience beyond the classroom.

Our Theatre for Young Audiences performances are ideal for elementary students and include a study guide to extend the learning back at school.
