School-only Performances

2025-26 School-only Performances

With the support of the Friends of the Lied, preschool through high school students in Lawrence are invited to participate in a performing arts experience with world-class artists. For younger audiences, these live arts experiences introduce them to dance, theatre, music and storytelling. It also gives them the opportunity to learn how to be good audience members.

Children who are homeschooled or attend schools outside the Lawrence area are also welcome to attend school-only performances; please contact the Ticket Office at 785-864-2787 or lied@ku.edu for more information.
