Dear Educators and Group Leaders,
Theater is an extraordinary and unique experience for a young person. Attending a performance engages them with different cultures and perspectives, as well as different mediums for expressing ideas and stories, such as puppetry, soundscapes, music, movement, and dance. At the Pittsburgh International Children’s Theater, we are dedicated to continuing this tradition for your children and students. Please join us this year as we celebrate the 26th Pittsburgh International Children’s Festival and give your children and students a chance to experience the gift of theater.
This year, the Festival is pleased to welcome featured performers from the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Senegal, Spain, Germany, Surinam, Venezuela, Australia, The United Kingdom, Scotland and Japan. Each performance will be as educational as it is fun, and throughout the Festival, children are encouraged to participate in the process. Groups and individuals can look forward to free hands-on educational, cultural, and international activities, as well as performances on our free outdoor Community Stage. The Festival will once again take place in the beautiful green spaces surrounding Schenley Plaza and the University of Pittsburgh in Oakland. With the generous help of Citiparks, the University of Pittsburgh, the Parks Conservancy, and Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh we are able to bring you over 65 performances in over 5 venues and ensure that there is something for everyone to enjoy!
Please consider being our guest for a field trip your students will never forget, May 16-20, 2012!
