Opening Nights at Florida State University is proud to support learning through the arts by offering free educational resources for teachers, caregivers, and students. These materials include performance-specific learning guides, activity packets, and multimedia tools that encourage creative thinking, cultural appreciation, and deeper engagement with the performing arts.

These resources are developed in collaboration with the Opening Nights Education Committee and the Florida Center for Reading Research, whose expertise helps connect live performance experiences with educational goals both in and out of the classroom.

Explore learning guides from current and past seasons to inspire curiosity and support arts-integrated learning at school and at home.
