Student Space

A place to hang out with your friends, an out-of-the-way study space, a lunch locale, a surfing spot, a quick shopping destination—and a source for funky, provocative, absorbing, spicy, mellow entertainment. Whatever your mood—ready to try something new? hoping for a little comfort food after a rough test? want to impress that guy from history with your knowledge of world music?—you can find something that will suit it right here.

When you head over for a show, you’ll get great discounts on tickets, and plenty of events will feel welcoming to you, your friends, and your family. Plus you can always dip your toes into music or dance or theatre you’ve never tried before—and you won’t have to spend a dime. Traffic Jam concerts at 5pm let you come and go when you can and sample a song or two—or the whole set. If you can get away during the day, drop in at noon for an Interval concert, which will feature local groups, spotlight world music, and mix it up with a little wackiness. And feel free to check out a Prelude, a Concert Prep, or a Pre-performance Conversation to gain a little more insight into your favorite artist or to catch a glimpse of what’s behind a play you’ve never seen. If you're shy, make virtual friends with us on our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter. And don’t miss us on YouTube.

If you haven’t heard about the Youth Series, click over to the web site. The hand-picked shows provide a eye-opening opportunity to get out of the classroom and into the world of the arts. You’ll be able to join your classmates and other students from surrounding areas for what might be your first live performance but will hopefully be just the first one of many to come. The short plays and musicals you’ll see are designed just for you. (Really: no lectures.) So browse through the offerings, and if you see a performance that appeals to you, be sure to tell your teacher or another adult—and we hope to see you soon.
