Main Stage Matinees
The same shows that appear on our Main Stage on the weekends have been tailored to meet the tight constraints of a school-day in our Main Stage Matinee Series. In addition to your class trip to our theatre for the performance, we continue our practice of providing excellent lesson plans and the unique opportunity for your students to have a question and answer session with our professional artistic team – director, designer and actors! This season two of our Main Stage productions are available for Main Stage Matinee, With Two Wings and Pinkalicious. Matinees will be available during the show’s Main Stage run. For details, please call our Educational Programming Director, Lori Lawrence at [973] 347-4946 or email at eddir@growingstage.com .
Touring & Resident Company
In addition to our Main Stage Matinees, The Growing Stage offers unique opportunities for education enrichment through our touring and resident companies. Answering our mission of nurturing the development of the performing arts through education, we have had the privilege of performing for schools throughout New Jersey and are on the New Jersey State Council on the Arts approved roster of Artist Residency Companies. Our current touring production is described below:
