The Parent-Pass is a unique way for students to share their experiences of the works of Shakespeare and the classics with their parents. The Parent Pass is a one-time use card that enables a parent to accompany their child to any show at The Shakespeare Tavern® Playhouse and both may attend at the student rate. The pass is handed out to each Georgia student who views an ASC matinee as part of their school’s field trip to ASC. It's a great way for kids and parents to come together and connect through the arts and education. We believe that encouraging families to spend time together at a family-friendly venue like ASC will increase arts participation for students and will in turn create a better connection between the student and school work. We feel certain that you and your business will benefit greatly from the gratitude of the parents whose children have been positively impacted through your Sponsorship.

ASC’s artist-educators do not impose directorial decisions on the students. This is yet another key to ASC’s success in arts education, and is directly related to our inclusive performance style. We are not “guest speakers” lecturing on what Shakespeare “meant”, we are coaches encouraging students to use their own ability to learn and understand. Our playshops connect scholarship with fun activity and personal involvement, so that any kind of learner can succeed in understanding Shakespeare.

ASC’s educational programs are designed to forge a personal connection between Shakespeare’s work and all the students, without alienating any child by presenting material too “complicated” for slower students or too specific to one gender or ethnicity. To quote ASC Education Director, Laura Cole, “One particular teacher glowed with pride as she saw her ‘slow’ kids zoom through the story of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and tackle the hard words and phrases with aplomb. They believed me when I said Shakespeare was about us, our lives, and was for all people. As they explored the plot by creating their own versions of scenes using text from the play and their own imaginations, the students discovered the ‘Midsummer’ world of young people and magic, and made it their own.”

Your $2,500 Sponsorship can bring this nationally-recognized programming to the school of your choice, not only positively impacting students in the communities where your employees live, but also generating respect and gratitude for YOUR BUSINESS for funding such a worthy undertaking.

• Logo placement or company recognition in Study Guides produced for the featured show (ASC Educational Programming explores the text of a specific show for classroom purposes). Parents frequently review these guides with their child, so rest assured that your company’s sponsorship will be acknowledged by the people you want to reach.
• 4 complimentary tickets on the evening of your choice to any ASC show during the season of your One-week Sponsorship. The evening includes reserved seating for 4, complimentary dinner, drinks and desserts (served to you at your table!), an autographed cast picture and that warm fuzzy feeling that only comes from giving money to a worthy cause.
• Our special Superhero Education T-shirt, “Saving the World through Iambic Pentameter!” And you will be!

Please note that for a One-Week Educational Program Sponsorship, more than half of your total cost ($1,300) is tax deductible!
