Youth Series
Our Youth Presentation Series is an annual series of curriculum-linked professional performing arts presentations aimed at elementary and high school students.
While Francophone and Indigenous arts programming are areas of specialization, each series includes a multitude of genres or disciplines involving music, dance and theatre.
We’ll be going into our 10th season in 2011 and the response to the series has been overwhelmingly positive from educators and audiences. We provide a forum for children and youth to experience meaningful, high quality live performances, that inspire, educate and delight children and youth of all ages.

Call for submissions
Market Hall Performing Arts is inviting submissions from professional artists and performing arts companies for inclusion in its Youth Series for either the spring of 2011 or the fall/winter/spring of 2011-12. The Youth Series presents performing arts programming for students from grades 1 to 12 on the stage of the Market Hall.
Market Hall Youth Series is multi-disciplinary. It is open to artists working in theatre, dance, music and interdisciplinary performance. Length of all presentations is 50-60 minutes. The Series is open to work created by Peterborough area artists as well as touring artists from across the country. Both will be assessed on the abilities and experience of the artists involved and the quality of the work being presented. For examples of past programming, visit markethall.org.

Make sure to include: the age range for the production and how it links to the curriculum; experience of the artistic and production personnel; length of the work and its technical requirements. Please also give an indication of what sort of promotional material you can provide, such as: a web site; high quality photographs of the production and artist; and high quality video.
