STUDY TRIPS
Let the Embassy Theatre take your students on an educational tour of our historic building! Teachers or leaders choose the program that best fits their needs. Program modules address state standards in the arts, language arts and social studies, making this trip refreshing and informative.
Commitment to Community (in-person)
Taking a bow on the Embassy stage, students act out history and learn how a community chose to save the historic theatre from the wrecking ball. Students use analysis and application of information as they investigate the building.
Touring and discovering the amazing variety of artwork embedded in the walls, ceilings, and floors of the Embassy Theatre reinforces the artistic value of the building itself. Taking to the stage to reenact the history that led to the Embassy being saved helps students understand the responsibilities and choices that are made when citizens consider choices affecting an entire community. Aligned for grades 3-8. This study trip is two and a half hours in length.

Grades 1-12.

Shapes, Sights, Sounds and Surfaces (in-person)
This Study Trip experience invites preschoolers to explore the Embassy Theatre with their senses. Instead of telling four and five-year-olds “don’t touch,” they can explore the beauty of the theater with their hands, eyes, and ears while practicing recognizing shapes and colors. Appropriate for ages 4 to 5. This study trip is 60 minutes in length.
In-person Study Trips
There is a student fee of $3.00 for any in-person Study Trip. We allow one adult for every five students to attend at no charge. Teachers are always free.
