One&Five

SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FIRST AND FIFTH GRADE CLASSROOMS RECEIVE FREE FIELD TRIP TICKETS, FREE DRAMATIC CONNECTIONS WORKSHOPS, AND FREE BUSES!

Thanks to a generous grant from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, SCT is able to expand our One&Five Program for the next two seasons. SCT established the One&Five initiative to expand access to more students with the goal of ensuring all Seattle Public School students see a live theatre performance and experience a theatre education workshop as they enter and exit elementary school. We're eager to connect with more Seattle students and educators during our 24-25 season, through the following program offerings:

As a participant in SCT’s One&Five Program, SPS 1st and 5th grade classrooms will receive the following classroom package for one show of their choosing:

  • Free field trip tickets for all 1st and 5th grade students, in addition to chaperones (one free chaperone ticket per every ten students)
  • Free funding for a bus to and from SCT on the day of the field trip (up to $400 per bus, reimbursed by SCT after receipt of the invoice)
  • Free Dramatic Connections workshops (in your classroom before or after your field trip), for each classroom participating in the One&Five program
Next steps:
