Travel Fee

Please contact ETT for the specific fee to your area.

 

 

Substitutions

 

In the Basic Package, you may switch your workshop sessions for additional performances at no extra cost. It is not possible to present different shows on the same day (i.e. Giants of Electrical Science and The Energy Detective, or The Energy Detective and Sir Isaac Newton: The Apple and Beyond).

 

 

FUNDING

 

With tight budgets, some schools look for different methods of funding their Educational Touring Theatre presentations. Below are some funding possibilities that may benefit your school.

 

 

Student Ticket Subsidy Program

 

The Student Ticket Subsidy Program (STS) is one of the most popular funding programs for schools presenting ETT programs. With STS, your school could receive full or partial funding for your ETT presentations. The STS program is administered by eight different regional organizations, with funds provided by the Tennessee Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.

 

The STS program is available to all Tennessee public schools. Once you have reserved your ETT presentation date, you will submit a simple one page, fill in the blank application form to your regional STS organization. If you have never used the STS program, ETT can walk you through the entire process.

 

If your school does not receive your STS funding request, you may cancel your ETT reservation at no charge.

 

For complete STS information and guidelines, please visit the Tennessee Arts Commission at www.arts.state.tn.us/community_arts_sts.htm.

 

 

Title I Funding

 

Title I schools may use Title I funds to cover the cost of school wide ETT presentations if 40% of the school’s student population is from low-income families. Please contact your school’s Title I coordinator for more information.

 

 

PTA/PTO Funding

 

Many schools have received funding from their own PTAs or PTOs. Because they are educational and entertaining, and because they may involve students from different grade levels, ETT’s programs have proven very popular with PTAs and PTOs.

 

 

In-School Field Trip

 

Some schools approach ETT’s visit like a regular field trip and charge students a small fee to help cover the presentation costs. The “In-School Field Trip” has the added advantage that there is no student travel time involved and so it is much less disruptive to the regular class schedule. You also avoid the hassle of collecting permission slips!

The Educational Touring Theatre has worked directly with a number of organizations around Tennessee to provide program sponsorships. Listed below are the sponsorships that are currently available.
