Discover Live and Virtual Arts Experiences in Our Season for Young People

For the 2024-25 school year, Tennessee Performing Arts Center offers exceptional performances for students, available in-person and virtually. Discover how the performing arts brings high quality instructional opportunities to inspire and connect, from theatre, music, and literature, to history, geography, and science.

Whether you are viewing from the classroom or in our theaters, TPAC’s Season for Young People invites everyone to connect with the performing arts. 

The Season for Young People is available to schools statewide and beyond through in-person shows at TPAC and through virtual performances to view in your classroom.  All performances are during the school day, and exclusively for student audiences. Look for virtual and live performance options, titles that are new and returning, and grade-level specific recommendations. Be sure to view our Resource section where you will find standards and classroom materials, helpful instructions for show days, and inspiring professional development workshops.
