Theatre Group Travel & Drama Performance Tours
Give your theatre students the spotlight they deserve. Theatre is about more than memorizing lines and hitting cues, it’s about confidence, collaboration, and storytelling. At Educational Travel Adventures (ETA), we design custom student theatre performance tours and learning workshops that allow young performers to shine on stage, learn from professionals, and experience the magic of performing live in the world’s greatest cultural hubs.
Plan your Theatre Group Performance Tour with ETA
From Broadway workshops in New York City to showcase performances at Disney and Universal Studios, our theatre tours combine performance, education, and inspiration. We plan the travel logistics, educational itineraries and workshops so all you have to do is focus on teaching and travel.

Why Travel for a Theatre Focused Student Trip?
A student theatre trip opens doors for young actors, singers, and stage crew members to explore their craft beyond the classroom. Students gain opportunities to visit professional venues, participate in workshops with theatre professionals, and experience productions that shape their understanding of the art form. These tours provide more than a trip, they nurture creativity, build confidence and stage presence, and create lasting memories for the entire ensemble.

Custom Itineraries for Every Theatre Group Trip
Every theatre program is unique, and so is every tour we create. Some musical theatre groups want to learn music and choreography from a Broadway show, while others choose to focus on acting and stagecraft. Educational Travel Adventures works with directors to design itineraries that reflect your group’s talents and goals. Options include performance workshops, festival participation, cultural exchange with student groups, and immersive workshops in acting, musical theatre, audition technique, or technical theatre. Whether you want your students to learn from professionals at workshops, participate in a festival, or experience the bright lights of Broadway, we’ll create a program that fits.

Theatre Workshops on Broadway
For many theatre students, Broadway is the ultimate dream and a trip to New York City brings it to life. Your group can attend world-class productions, explore the theatre district, and take part in Broadway workshops led by industry professionals. Students can work directly with Broadway actors, choreographers, and casting directors to refine their craft, gaining insider knowledge of the theatre world. Performances can also be arranged in New York venues, giving your students the thrill of taking the stage in the theatre capital of the world.

Your Broadway Debut: A Broadway Experience with Purpose
One of Educational Travel Adventures’ most inspiring theatre opportunities is our Arts for Autism annual Broadway benefit concert where Broadway stars and young performing arts students from across the country share the stage for a night of performance, acceptance, and awareness. Held each year in a premier New York City theatre, Arts for Autism invites exceptional student performers, including those on the autism spectrum and with special needs, to be part of a Broadway production alongside seasoned artists. Students get exposed to the magic of Broadway, build new skills and confidence, and connect with a community that values inclusivity. All proceeds from the event support grants and programs that improve the lives of individuals impacted by autism and promote accessible theatre education nationwide.
