LIVEAT
I know that I speak for all of the staff here at The Grand Oshkosh when I say that we are truly excited to welcome students back for the 2022 2023 Amcor Student Discovery Series! The energy of a live performance simply cannot be matched, and sharing that excitement with students makes it even better.
We can’t wait to see you at The Grand!
Looking at the season ahead, there is something for everyone featuring a range of topics such as history, language arts, bullying, math, science, and so much more- all for a range of grade levels. In the following pages you’ll find all the details, and I know you’ll see something that will excite and entertain your classes.
The Grand Oshkosh would like to thank all the volunteers, educators, performers, and sponsors who make the Student Discovery Series possible. We are committed to providing dynamic and entertaining learning experiences; adapting our programming to meet educational standards; and presenting content that is relevant, exciting, and informative.

Dear Educators,
Student Discovery Series
As a recent addition to the staff here at The Grand Oshkosh, I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself. If you have attended any of our regular season shows in the past several years, you may have seen me in the Grand Lounge, and just a few months ago I moved into the Patron Services Manager position, managing our front-of-house operations as well as the Student Discovery Series. As a musician and thespian, I have always been passionate about arts education, and I am glad we are able to bring these wonderful educational experiences to students in our community!
