Parent Education Guide

Live theatre inspires kids to think creatively, helps build empathy, and fosters an appreciation for the arts. Experts agree students exposed to live theatre achieve better academic outcomes, have higher career goals & tend to be more civically engaged.

The Hollywood Pantages Theatre has made it a mission to connect with schools and educational groups to create opportunities for the younger generation to gain this exposure. Our 2025/26 season is no different. With a plethora of family friendly shows coming up its easy to find one that fits your family!
