DUBUQUE, Iowa – The University of Dubuque is excited to announce the 2018-2019 Live at Heritage Center SchoolBus Performance Series. The season will once again include programs aligned to STEAM – science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.
The new season will kick off Monday, Oct. 15, and will run through Tuesday, April 30. It will feature 12 titles and 14 performances. Programs were selected to complement classroom curriculum with creative and imaginative learning, critical thinking opportunities, and live performances. Performance-specific study guides also are available to help educators integrate performance topics into classroom activities.
Launched in 2014, SchoolBus is an annual daytime field trip program that provides learning opportunities for pre-k-12 students. The series has grown to serve more than 10,000 tri-state area students.
SchoolBus performances feature nationally touring professional and guest artist presentations for public, private, homeschool, and accredited preschool and day care groups with students ages 4 and older. The performances will be held in John and Alice Butler Hall, Heritage Center, with convenient bus access and parking.
Performances will take place at 9:45 a.m., with the exception of The Legend of Pocahontas at 12:15 p.m. and the two science shows each of which offer a second 12:15 p.m. performance. Most performances are approximately one hour and include a question-and-answer period.
