Virtual Field Trip Performances

September's Show: Tommy's Space Adventure

Field trips can create lasting memories and foster a love of learning, but transportation costs, volunteer coordination and permission slips can make them a hassle. 

Here’s a great way to take your class on a virtual visit to Puppet Art’s Studio without all the fuss.  Students will enjoy a live-streamed, interactive puppet performance and then participate in a virtual studio tour to see how the show was created and performed.

To join in on the fun simply choose a date and show from the list below and click on the “reserve your spot” button to register your class. (See Frequently Asked Questions.)

If you’d like to book a live, virtual performance just for your class or school on a date and time of your choice, you can book that here: In Person and Virtual Shows.

With the season pass you are invited to all 10 performances and all 25 performance dates and times. Plus you'll be able to watch (and re-watch) recordings of each performance and receive teacher resource sheets for each show with links to curriculum ideas, puppet building videos and more.

Yes, the fee is listed under each event. The fee is for each device viewing the presentation. (Occasionally we may offer a free field trip.)

 

What internet security measures will be in place?

In Zoom Webinar participants cannot turn their video or audio so you will only ever hear and see the performers during the event. Chat is also disabled.

Can we have more than one class view the show for a single fee?

Yes. The fee is per device. You are welcome to gather multiple classes together and view on one device.

How do we pay?

You pay via credit card when you register on the Zoom website. If your school secretary, PTA rep. or principal is registering your class please make sure they register with your email so you’ll get the link to the virtual show.

The Q&A feature in Zoom Webinar will be active during the session. Teachers can enter their students’ questions in the Q&A feature.

Not for these virtual field trip dates. We can book a performance specifically for your school or class on other platforms. Please Contact Us to schedule a performance specifically for your school or class.
