DAYTIME MATINEES AT THE THEATER
Non-ticketed event / Registration Required

Bring your class to the ballet!

Join us in the theater as we invite students of all ages to experience the joy and excitement of live dance performances during the school day. In age-appropriate programs that feature OBT company artists and School of OBT dancers, students are given an opportunity to see fully produced works of ballet, which often include live music. Learn about the how and why of the creation process!

In concert with Oregon state standards for competency in the arts, OBT’s Education and Outreach Department crafts thematic frameworks for each performance that support efforts to promote literacy in all academic subject areas. Multi-media support materials and teacher preparation packets are provided for each participating class free of charge.
