Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, IL
School Matinee Series and Educational Programs
I recently came upon some pretty exciting information and I thought I'd pass it on just in case there are others in the Chicagoland area that, like myself, were unaware of it. I think this info will be of special interest to parents, educators ... anyone that knows, loves, or has interest in the education of youngsters.
The Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, IL offers a matinee program aimed at kids, Kindergarten through 12th grade. This program is meant to support the curriculum of the Joliet area's school systems. The Rialto Square Theatre (map/directions) serves as an educational center, providing entertainment that stimulates learning ... while also creating a love for the performing arts. The culturally diverse performances given become teaching tools that have assisted over 500,000 students from over 50 of Joliet's surrounding communities.
Seats MUST BE RESERVED in advance for the approximately one-hour performances. The programs offered are NOT open or available to the general public. Seating can be arranged for groups with special needs students, but the Rialto Square Theatre box office must be alerted to those needs at the time of ticket order.
