Wayne Theatre offers Arts Education programming for students

Chris Graham

wayne theatreA passion for the performing arts can begin at an early age. The Arts Education performances give our youngest audience members the opportunity to experience live performing arts in our historic Wayne Theatre in Downtown Waynesboro, Va.

The mission of this program is to present the best educational theater that engages children in meaningful ways, complements school curricula, and cultivates appreciation of the performing arts. Study guides are available for most performances.

The support and generosity of the Virginia Commission for the Arts and our Arts Education Sponsors allows The Wayne to make these programs accessible to ALL children in the Shenandoah Valley, Central Virginia and beyond by offering performances at a reduced cost.

Whether for a moment or for a lifetime, the arts touch people’s lives.
