Now is the time to reserve seats for great arts opportunities. The first two are programs open to school groups and homeschoolers throughout the year:
Theater Vision at the Franciscan Center - Plays are offered for all grade levels, from preschool to Shakespeare. Shows do sell out, so it is best to get your order in early, especially if you need a specific date and time.
Toledo Symphony Orchestra Young People Concerts- Three performaces, one hour each, designed to introduce the symphony to students.
Other area arts opportunities:
Toledo Symphony Orchestra
Valentine Theatre
Owens Community College Center for Fine and Performing Arts
Finally, a very nice theater experience, worth a drive, can be found at the Wild Swan Theater in Ann Arbor. American Sign Language is an integrated part of all performances, with a character interpreting during the entire show.
