"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."
— Scott Adams
FIELD TRIPS
The foundation of TBPAC's educational programming is the Field Trip series. Each year students from public, private and home schools
come to TBPAC during the school day to enjoy high quality, age-appropriate
productions. TBPAC recognizes the challenges that FCAT poses to teachers
in the State of Florida, and understands teachers’ reluctance to
take students away from the classroom environment to attend performances
during the school day. To enhance the educational connection between our
shows and your curriculum, each Field Trip presentation
is coded with the applicable Sunshine State Standards the show and
its corresponding study guide helps to
meet.

STUDY GUIDES
Field Trip Study Guides are coded with Sunshine State Standards and are created specifically for each Field Trip production. Study Guides are available in Portable Document Format (PDF) and require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have the Reader, you can download a free copy from the Adobe Systems, Inc. web site. Check individual shows below for study guide links. For more information on Study Guides, contact 813.222.1085.
