The Peace Outreach Program, a nationally recognized arts education initiative, fulfills a critical part of The Peace Center’s overall mission. Each year, the program serves nearly 70,000 students, teachers and community members from across Upstate South Carolina, as well as parts of Georgia and Western North Carolina through its performance series, community outreach events and professional development programs for educators.
The largest single component of the Peace Outreach Program is the annual performance series for public, private and home-school groups. These curriculum-based programs help students experience literature, history, and science through the performing arts, giving them a whole new way to think about what they’re learning in school. For every show, the Education department creates a study guide with pre and post show activities, lesson plans and information about the performance.
PLEASE NOTE: Ticket orders for school groups must be submitted in writing using the ticket order form, which can be downloaded here. Individual orders may contact the Box Office directly. All performances are general seating and open to the public, ages three and over. Please contact Staci Dillard at 864.467.3007 or sdillard@peacecenter.org with any questions.
