Educational Outreach
Mischief is for everyone
Our interactive work is accessible to new fans of live theatre and younger audiences in an arts world that often leaves them feeling unqualified to engage. This approach engages audiences of all ages and levels of theatrical knowledge, making it a great first experience for new audiences and an affirming one for existing theatre fans.
We work with schools and community groups to organize special performances, artist Q'&A’s, and fun movement lessons. We would be thrilled to connect and our program can be curated to support elementary, high-school, and university curriculums.

General Mischief brought the house down, burned up the floor, and raised the roof with their assemblies at The Town School last week. Kids and teachers continue to email and stop me in the halls to say how much they loved everything about the performances: the dancing, the interactivity, the dance-along routine, the Q&A, the music, the themes, everything! They were a delight to work with, so talented and such nice people!"
