Welcome to Dayton Live’s Discovery Series!
We are thrilled to offer in-person performing arts field trips for the 2022-2023 Season!
More than 1 million students have experienced the wonder of live performance since this series debuted in 1991. In all those years, the belief that arts education is an essential component of every student’s academic journey has never wavered.
The 2022-2023 Season is full of exciting opportunities for you and your students to attend carefully selected shows that enhance Ohio state academic standards throughout multiple subject areas. Studies have shown that the Arts have a real impact on a student’s reading and language skills, mathematics skills, thinking skills, social skills, and motivation to learn. When you add a Discovery Series experience to your academic calendar, you are inspiring new pathways for achievement both inside and outside of the classroom for your students.
Discovery Series performances will take place in three of Dayton Live’s theatre spaces – the Victoria Theatre, the Schuster Center, and the PNC Arts Annex. Each one offers a unique and magical venue for your students to engage with the performing arts.
Thank you for investing in a field trip to the Discovery Series and making the arts a priority in the academic lives of our young people!
