DOWNLOAD STUDY GUIDES

For parents and educators

The Hopkins Center's Outreach & Arts Education department produces study guides to accompany events that are part of the Hop's School Matinee Series. This extremely popular series serves New Hampshire and Vermont K-12 school age students and their teachers. Study guides include much additional background information, as well as a variety of learning activities, all designed to enhance the educational potential of each performance and to enrich the experience for all.

Most events presented for school audiences during the day are also presented during the evening public performance series. Parents may also find these study guides to be useful in helping to enrich the experience for their own children — and for themselves.
