Support parents in theatre while shopping local this holiday season! Parents and caregivers can enjoy an afternoon out around Raleigh on Saturday, December 21st while your kids (ages 4-11) enjoy theatre games and crafts with Seed Art Share’s teaching artists! 

The event will last 4 hours from 10am-2pm and costs $70 for the first child, and $45 for each additional child in the family. Drop-ins are permitted (see our schedule below to ensure your kids get to do the part of the event they want!) at $25/hr per child for the first child and $20/hr per child for each additional child in the family. The event will be held at the City of Raleigh Museum, located at 220 Fayetteville St. in Downtown Raleigh. Your child will enjoy a scavenger hunt in the historic City of Raleigh Museum while learning about local history; play theatre games with interactive holiday stories; make crafts; and create a holiday e-card that can be sent to grandparents, family, and friends (while learning about the magic of film, SFX, and green screen technology)!

In an area replete with cultural arts education and performances, Seed Art Share is committed to share stories, space, and experiences.  While our integration classes teach performance technique, they also emphasize cross-curricular connections such as history, science, and language arts. We offer camps and workshops for homeschool coops and community organizations to reinforce their relevant course of study. You can register for our current camps and weekly classes offered through The Town of Garner and The Town of Cary at www.seedartshare.org.  

In an effort to build community relationships and bring audiences into local businesses, we perform original and classical plays in stores, restaurants, offices, galleries, parks, museums, and other non-traditional venues.  Some of our recent partners include The City of Raleigh (including The City of Raleigh Museum, Mordecai Historic Park, and The Borden Building), The North Carolina Museum of History, Artsplosure, Live it up Hillsborough St., Raleigh Little Theatre, The Irregardless Cafe, and the Well-Fed Community Garden, and Garner Parks and Rec. In partnership with Applause! Cary Youth Theatre, this season's A Peter Rabbit Christmas travels family audiences throughout the new Downtown Cary Park. 

We also partner with other existing theatre organizations to present show-themed drama activities for children whose parents are performing or attending matinee productions. We have developed “Share the Show” curriculum and created family inclusive programs for our own shows such as The Miracle Worker and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as well as Playmakers Repertory Company, The Justice Theatre Project, The National Women’s Theatre Festival, NCTC, Pure Life Theatre Company, Burning Coal Theatre, and BARE Theatre.
