About
Wolf Trap Education is a program of Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts that offers programming that educates, entertains, and engages through the performing arts. Families can attend Children's Theatre-in-the-Woods and other live performances together in a natural setting. Through Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts, Children's Theatre-in-the-Woods, internships and apprenticeships, and grants for performing arts teachers, the program includes music, dance, drama, and puppetry resources that can be used in learning.
• Schedule: All people, regardless of age, must have a ticket for ticketed performances at the Filene Center and The Barns at Wolf Trap; children under 2 years of age are admitted free to Children's Theatre-in-the-Woods but still require a ticket.
Wolf Trap Education is a program of Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Wolf Trap Foundation brings world-class performances to the Washington, DC region and delivers arts education programs nationwide. Wolf Trap's educational programs reach more than 100,000 children, educators, and families across the U.S. and Singapore each year. Wolf Trap Teaching Artists work alongside teachers to provide arts-infused instruction in classrooms, and students have access to career growth and enrichment opportunities. Wolf Trap's resource library offers free video tutorials and lesson plans to integrate the arts into learning, and these resources can be searched by arts discipline, developmental stages and domains, or learning focus, with music, dance, drama, and puppetry listed as arts disciplines.
