For over
30 years, Intercity has offered special week day performances of our productions for area school children. The scope and popularity of these
performances has grown at a phenomenal rate over the past few years.
Our yearly production of The Nutcracker has been performed to filled audiences.
This past year we were pleased to include many area senior citizen and adult day
care groups. These performances generally sell out very quickly and frequently we
have a waiting list.
For the last 5 years, we have been able to offer scholarship tickets to many area
physically and/or financially challenged children and adults. Through the generosity
of local businesses and patrons, we have been able to offer these performances at a
very low cost. Well over 45% of those who attend the day performances do so at
no charge through our scholarship program.
We have groups attending our performances from all over Eastern Tennessee and
Southwest Virginia. We have had children of all ages from 2 to 92! Each year we
have city and county elementary, middle and high schools represented. In addition,
we welcome college groups, day cares and nursery schools, private schools, senior
citizen groups and home-schoolers. We have extended our outreach to include
residential homes for our youth. Last year alone, information was sent to over 300
schools and organizations.
Along with our company theater productions, Intercity offers an educational
outreach program to the community. In the past we have provided educational
programs to area schools on the history and art of dance, as well as exhibitions.
Our company has also participated in area artistic and religious celebrations.
Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in finding out more about
Intercity's community outreach program.
