The Grand's 2025-2026 season of Stages of Discovery, where academics and arts collaborate to provide creative learning opportunities for students.
Stages of Discovery presents multiple opportunities for learning from Preschool through 12th grade. School matinees have been carefully selected to complement curriculum standards. As you plan for the school year, the Grand invites you to utilize the ARTS to help teach literature, history, science, character building, and more. Live theatre helps students grasp and retain the information they may not understand in other forms. In short, learning comes to life on stage!
Other opportunities to assist you and your students:
- Show-specific Study Guides include lessons and activities for use in the classroom
- Classroom Visits help your students prepare for their trip to the theater
- DiAE Teaching Artist Residencies allow students to explore subject matter and have a deeper, more personal connection with the art form
- Valuable Transportation Subsidies make it all more affordable!
- Stages of Discovery Guidelines lay out policy and procedures
