SPRING IS HERE which means metro area schools will soon be locking their doors and school buses will soon be parking temporarily for spring break vacation.
And while there are countless offerings made available throughout the metro area for families choosing to not travel or traveling to the city, figuring out what to do to keep your children fulfilled and entertained during the break can be daunting.
Fret not. We thought it a nice idea to provide a short and inexhaustive guide to provide friends and patrons of the Alliance Theatre with options of what to do while on spring break.
Here you’ll find a carefully curated selection of suggestions for you and your family this spring break.
TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE
The magic of theatre is that it can transport us to places we could have never imagined. And this season we have several productions available for families and young audiences designed to inspire creativity and catapult us into experiences of the unknown.
Opening April 1, THE BOY WHO KISSED THE SKY, our next Youth & Family show on the Coca-Cola Stage, is the story of a young Boy who learns to find harmony inside the challenging noises of his life. Sponsored by the Zeist Foundation, Atlanta Public Schools families can see the show for free during spring break, April 2-8 (limit 6 tickets per family). *
And running through April 30, LIZARD & EL SOL, our bilingual TVY show performing in the Black Box Theatre, is an interactive adventure based on a famous Mexican folktale about a time when El Sol (the Sun) disappeared from the sky.
We also have offerings available for streaming as part of our Alliance Theatre Anywhere initiative. Join two overly curious scientists, ROOB & NOOB, who love nothing more than discovering something new on an interactive adventure as they build machines from simple objects and explore the wonder and sensations of each of the four seasons.
And of course, SIT-IN, written by Atlanta's bestselling author, playwright, and Civil Rights Activist, Pearl Cleage (Blues for An Alabama Sky, In My Granny's Garden, Tell Me My Dream) this original animated short celebrates the power of youth to change history. We meet three friends as they learn about the sit-ins of the Civil Rights era, and powerfully apply those lessons to issues they – and we all – face today.
CAMPS
Maybe you have a child who commands everyone’s attention when they are in a room, or a family friend who has always wanted to perform but never quite had the courage or confidence. Spring Break Camp is available for kids aged four to grade 8 during the week as a way of encouraging your child to express their creative side.
Spring break offerings are about more than just entertainment. Spring break offerings at the Alliance Theatre are committed to inspiration through creating memorable experiences and transformative opportunities. To learn more, visit https://www.alliancetheatre.org/.
