Student Subscription Series
Celebrating its 24th year
Free tickets. Free teacher workshops. Thousands of students. The oldest component of the Goodman's education and community programming, the Student Subscription Series (SSS) has served as a national model for arts education since its inception. Offered entirely FREE to participating schools, the SSS has touched the lives of over 25,000 Chicago public high school students.
More than just seeing a play. Working with teachers throughout the year to design specific lesson plans and focused classroom integration, the SSS not only gives students a rich theater-going experience, but also aids in the development of critical thinking skills and sparks curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. Math, science and other non-humanities teachers are encouraged to work in teams with drama, English and history teachers on curriculum that integrates theater across all subject areas.
Student Subscription Series schools receive:
- Tickets to student matinees of Goodman productions.
- Professional development opportunities at teacher and principal workshops offering CPDUs.
- Classroom sets of the script and our exclusive student guide for each matinee schools attend.
- Free tickets for parents and guardians to each production students will attend.
- Preview tickets for teachers and principals to each production students will attend.
Admission to the Student Subscription Series is by written application from interested teachers and principals. All schools applying for the program are evaluated by the Education & Community Programs staff to ensure the successful fulfillment of program requirements and to better understand the environments in which Series teachers and students function.
