During a time when live performances are more or less out of the question for many families, the Center for the Performing Arts Penn State is changing the way it connects families with the arts. One way the center is doing that is by taking the fun and education of the theater directly into families’ homes with its new program, Special Delivery.
Available for purchase now, with deliveries starting March 15 and running through April 23, the Special Delivery program features six weeks of mailed kits for $64 per household, with one kit sent per week and each addressed directly to the child recipient. Each kit revolves around an artistic project, with instructions and ideas to help children lead their families through an arts-based activity, from role-playing to photography to creative writing.
