Learn more about our shows

Carefully selected shows match the curriculum established by The New Mexico Common Core State Standards to provide innovative ways of bringing subject material to life for New Mexico’s youth. Our Dreamcatchers Teaching Guides provide in-class curricula to educators, and our Question & Answer sessions with the cast further enhance the live theater performance.

All School Groups Are Welcome

We welcome all schools: public, private, Pueblo and homeschools, including students and classrooms with ADA accessibility requirements.

Only adults serving as chaperones for students are eligible to attend Schooltime performances.

Special Ticket Pricing

Thanks to a grant and the generous support of our community, Schooltime Series tickets are priced at only $3.00. We fundraise to subsidize the cost of the tickets in order to help fill some of the void left by budget cuts to arts programming in our schools. Due, in part, to a grant from the City of Albuquerque's Urban Enhancement Trust Fund, we also provide at least 3,000 free tickets per year to the APS Title I schools with the most need.
