For more than 30 years, the Kravis Center continues to fuel imaginations and expand the lives of students of all ages through its comprehensive arts education programs. Nearly 3 million students have attended performances in the Kravis Center’s Dreyfoos Hall, Persson Hall and Rinker Playhouse through the S*T*A*R (Students and Teachers Arts Resource) Series.
The Center’s Admission Waiver Program ensures that no child is denied access to a performance based on ability to pay. The Center spends more than $100,000 a year on field-trip transportation so that Palm Beach County schoolchildren can attend performances. The Center also provides many opportunities for young performers to interact with visiting artists, such as Master Classes, ArtScholars, Kravis On Broadway Student Workshops, the Broadway Artists Intensive, ArtsCamp and the De George Academy for Performing Arts.
The Student and Educator Rush Ticket Program provides up to 50 percent off tickets for most seating and performances when a valid student or teacher ID is presented at the Kravis Center Box Office one hour prior to curtain time for many Kravis Center self-initiated performances. Restrictions do apply. Students are also eligible to receive free tickets to the Regional Arts Classical Concert Series. Tickets are available when a valid student ID is presented at the Kravis Center Box Office two hours before curtain time.
The Kravis Center has initiated a new education and engagement program in connection with Kravis On Broadway productions specifically for underserved student groups. The goal of the Kravis On Broadway Youth Initiative is part of an ongoing initiative to foster and encourage attendance of a diverse audience. Each show will have a designated youth group of 18 who will be invited to attend each of the opening night performances. The Kravis education department will develop a curriculum tailored to each production.
