THEATRE 4 KIDS FOUNDATION - SPECIAL OFFER!

Theatre 4 Kids Foundation has partnered with Herndon High School to provide an exciting opportunity for elementary students interested in the performing arts! We are offering 20 free tickets to Herndon High School’s performance of Footloose on May 4th at 2:00 PM. Herndon Theatre recommends that this production is for 6th graders and up due to some mature themes. Additional tickets are also available for purchase on the Herndon Theatre website: https://herndondrama.org. Not only is this a great way for the students to get acquainted with their future school, it is also a perfect introduction to the theatre program at Herndon High School, inspiring students to take a theatre class or be a part of a production in their future school years.

This offer is sponsored by the non-profit organization, Theatre 4 Kids Foundation, run by FCPS high school students with a mission to inspire the next generation of performers, artists and technicians by providing unforgettable performing arts experiences for students and their families.
