It's National Arts in Education Week (Sept. 11-17)! This week, we want to emphasize the importance of equitable access to arts education to all learners across our community, city, state, and nation. Market House Theatre's mission is to make the arts accessible to all and strives to accomplish it through initiatives such as a Story Theatre Troupe.
This spring, our Story Theatre Troupe will travel the region to bring theatre to schools! During their trip, they'll reach thousands of students in Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri.
We want to hear from you! Share how arts education has impacted you and use . We hope to see your story soon!

☀️Summer Workshop | Disney's Newsies JR.☀️
Set in 1899, newsboy Jack Kelly rallies the other newsies from across the city to strike against unfair conditions in this youth adaptation of the hit Broadway show. This intensive experience starts with each member of the camp preparing a 30-second to one-minute audition piece with a cut of a song from a musical. At the audition, they will learn a choreographed moment from the show and read from the script to try out for parts. Everyone gets a role and spends 2 weeks singing, dancing, and building characters leading up to two performances of the show.
