Back to School = Back to FUN!

If your kids are singing the Back-t0-School Blues, let them know there are plenty of things to look forward to between now and next spring, like field trips to Theatre IV's Broadway for Families shows at the Empire Theatre and Willow Lawn and in-school performances from Theatre IV On Tour!

Our Broadway for Families season at the Empire Theatre and Willow Lawn kicks off October 1st with the familiar favorite, Ferdinand the Bull, based on the book by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson. This bilingual family musical is part of our Hispanic Theatre Project and runs through October 17th. (Illustration by Theodore Taylor)

Other productions in our Broadway for Families season include The Velveteen Rabbit (at Willow Lawn), The B.F.G. (at the Empire) and HONK! (at the Empire). Theatre IV is also offering a special holiday option, Irving Berlin's White Christmas (at the Empire). Tickets can be purchased by calling one of our friendly box office staff at (804) 282-2620 or online at www.theatreivrichmond.org.

Odds are good that Theatre IV On Tour is coming to your child's school! Titles on the road Fall semester include Lyle, Lyle Crocodile, Home Sweet Homer, The Little Red Hen: A Country Musical, Patchwork: The Little House Life of Laura Ingalls Wilder, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Hugs and Kisses.

All our Theatre IV On Tour productions correlate to Virginia Standards of Learning, providing educators with an alternative teaching method to reinforce classroom lessons in English, Science, History and Family Life. And best of all, the kids (and teachers) have a great time!

We encourage parents to attend in-school performances (subject to school approval). If you would like to know if Theatre IV is coming to your child's school, contact our Tour Department at (804) 783-1688 and ask for Jeanie Rule.


Who knew going back to school could be so FUN? (We did!)
