Learn beyond the classroom!

Van Wezel Schooltime Performances present high quality, nationally and internationally renowned artists and performances for area students. Each Schooltime Performance connects to Florida's BEST Standards through engaging modules of arts-integrated lesson plans. Bring the arts into your classroom and expose your students to awe-inspiring performances designed specifically for school-aged children. 

We continue our efforts to make these performances accessible to all and offer 1 Free Ticket for every 10 purchased as well as Ticket Scholarships for Title 1 Schools. As always, bus reimbursement for travel (4 hours) to and from the Van Wezel is available for public schools unable to pay for transportation. This service is provided through the generosity of Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation.


Upcoming Schooltime Performances - Registration opens 8/4/25!
