HOP SCHOOL MATINEE SERIES 09-10

Get ready to make the 2009-2010 Hop School Matinee Series an integral part of your curriculum! Jump on the opportunity to link live theater to literature, dive into an assortment of music from jazz and gypsy to classical, and become mesmerized with Brazilian contemporary hip-hop dance.

Your students can experience all of this for only $5.00 per ticket because we believe that an education is not complete without the arts!
