Dear Educators:
The Great River Educational Arts Theatre, embarking on our eleventh season, is central Minnesota's premiere children's theatre. Last year, 15,999 students made our stage their classroom and learned through playing! As teachers, you know the amazing results of exploring math, science, writing and speaking through the arts. We all know it's proven that students who experience the arts as children score better on their SAT's, have higher self esteem and learn a myriad of skills. Let GREAT help you bring the arts directly into your classroom and together we can build a better future for all students. Book your seats today before we sell out. We'll see you at the show!
A Free Education Guide is Available for Download Four Weeks before the Show!
Guide Includes: Information on Transportation, Detailed plot description, Classroom activities, Craft projects, Writing exercises, Theatre etiquette and more!
