THEATRE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES

Book a Field Trip to the Fallon Theatre!

 

Plays on School Days is a field trip opportunity that provides students with an entertaining and educating live theatre experience. For just $5 a ticket, over 9,000 local elementary school students and educators have enjoyed theatrical adaptations of popular books for young audiences. 

This year we are proud to present Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Rock Experience based on the book by Mo Willems.

Reservations are accepted beginning in August 2024 and scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Specific time slots will be confirmed within a week of reserving according to availability and the estimated size of your group. Time slots fill up quickly every year, so teachers are encouraged to submit a request early once the sign ups are published. Sign ups will not be accepted before the form is live.

Enjoy a Night of Theatre and Support Local Schools!

 

Each year, the School of Theatre presents a Theatre for Young Audiences show. In past years we have raised money for local elementary schools through ticket sales of this program. To date, over $16,000 has been raised for Leon County Schools. This exciting fundraising “Share Night” opportunity for schools is a family-friendly event!

How it Works:

Share Night tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children. Anyone who comes to the theatre during a Share Night, and requests the Share Night tickets, may purchase as many available tickets as they like. $5 of each Share Night ticket will be donated back to the assigned school!

If your school is interested in participating in one of the Share Night performances, please contact the Community Engagement Office at 644-1377 for more information or see the reservation form below.

YOUNG AUDIENCES BOOK DRIVE

 

Clean out your bookshelves and support Tallahassee’s local chapter of The Boys and Girls in honor of our 2024-2025 Theatre for Young Audiences show; Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Rock Experience. Based on the award-winning children’s book by Mo Willems, Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Rock Experience features an innovative mix of songs, and is sure to make you rock and roll!

In conjunction with our production of Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Rock Experience, the School of Theatre is hosting a book drive to support the kids of the local chapter of the Boys and Girls Club. Help us uplift this incredible organization and clean out that book pile we know you have accumulated. The Boys and Girls Club serves kids ages 6-18, so check through your shelves, pull out some books, and drop them off at our three convenient drop-off boxes.

You can find donation boxes in the Fallon Theatre Lobby (530 W. Call St)

Please note the book drive will run between November 18 and November 24, 2024, so make sure you come by with your books during that week!
