“Taking Long Island Theater to New Heights!”

Education with a Dramatic Flair!

Dear Educator,

Welcome to another season of Airport Playhouse’s Educational Theater. Are you looking for an exciting way to bring literature to life??  Would you like your students to experience “live” professional theater?  We are sure that you will find many stimulating and entertaining choices in our 2010/2011 schedule. Not only can you come to our comfortable 255-seat theater but also many of our productions can be brought into your school building.

As always, we provide study guides for pre and post show discussions. Your students may also have the opportunity to participate in an educational question and answer period with the performers. 

All of our productions are not only linked to the New York State Learning Standards but BOCES approved for funding. 

In addition to a low theater ticket price of $6.00 per ticket for most performances, we offer one free chaperone ticket with each 15 paid students. 

For traveling shows, please call for prices. Travel performances range from $500 - $750 per performance with same day discounts. We are happy to work with you if additional time is needed for payment due to purchase order processing. We can also customize the length of our performances to fit your schedule.

For reservations, information, or personalized requests, please contact our box office at (631) 589-7588. We look forward to hearing from you to book an Educational Theater experience that deserves a standing ovation.
