Grade level/age group attending performance:

Babble Lab is specifically designed for preschool students ages 2-5.

Numbers Attending

Student matinee reservations are open to educational groups of 10+.

Thanks to our generous donors, student matinee tickets are available at a significantly lower price than our public performances.
Because we want educators to feel secure letting their little ones explore and interact, this preschool offering allows for 1 adult per every 2 students (Maximum 1 adult per 1 student for special education programs and homeschools). See a full breakdown of prices here.

# of students*

Please attempt to only reserve the tickets you need. If enrollment is likely to increase, reserve just a few (1-3) more student seats than you currently need. You may drop seats until Final Numbers/Cancellation Deadline six weeks prior to performance; however, reserving significantly more seats than you will use prohibits other groups from attending. Student seats can be added at any time as long as tickets are still available.

# of adults*

Include any adult who will need a seat in the theatre (teachers, support staff, parent chaperones, bus drivers, etc.).

My group will be bringing special education support staff to make our trip successful for students who need additional support.

Yes

How many of the adults included in the number above are special education support staff?*

Minimum of 10 tickets required to keep reservation

Please check all performances your group would be available*

CTC will do everything possible to place your group into your first or second choice performance. However, space tends to fill up quickly. The more dates you are available, the more likely it is that CTC will be able to accommodate your group.

Lunch Space Reservation Request

Lunch space is not available on Wednesdays.
CTC offers a limited number of lunch reservation spaces for schools that come from a great distance, schools combining a trip to CTC with a trip to Mia, or schools that will miss lunch while at CTC.
The lunch space, located in our lobbies, allows for a picnic-style lunch on the floor of the lobby. This is not private space and may be shared between multiple schools.
CTC provides garbage cans but does not provide tables, chairs, or refrigeration.

Help CTC keep lunch space available for groups who need it to make their trips possible and do not reserve lunch space unless you have no other options for eating.

We'd like to request Lunch Space following our Student Matinee for a $25 fee

Lunch space is limited, and space fills up quickly. Please indicate below your preference of what is most important to your group:
