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.
The Virtual Field Trip Season Pass
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.
