In-Person Field Trip FAQ’s
Q: How do I register my class?
A: Select the show you wish to attend and click on “Register Your Class”. Fill out the request form, which will include show time selection, number of tickets needed, scholarship requests and add-on workshop requests. Your ticket order is not complete until you receive an invoice from Poway OnStage.
Q: How do I request transportation for my field trip?
A: All teachers must request transportation through their District transportation request system. Poway OnStage DOES NOT arrange transportation to/from the PCPA.
Please note there is NO ON-SITE PARKING during day-time performances. All chaperones must ride with students on the bus.
Q: How do Poway OnStage scholarships work?
A: Our discounted $5 per ticket price for student matinee performances is made possible through many generous supporters of Poway OnStage. In addition, Poway OnStage has limited funding available to cover ticket fees and transportation costs for students/schools with limited resources. Scholarship applications are included in the registration link and you will be notified within two weeks of your scholarship status. Ticket Scholarships will result in a full or partial (50%) reduction in your ticket invoice total. Transportation scholarships will require your school or school district to invoice Poway OnStage for a maximum of $175 per bus. NOTE: Transportation scholarships can also be requested through ArtsBusXpress.
Q: When will I receive my study guide and what will it include?
A: Study guides vary by performance and will be distributed two-weeks prior to the show date. Each study guide includes background information on the artist and/or show contents, as well as extension activities or information for further study. Some study guides are PDF guides, others have video components. All students will also receive a show-specific Poway OnStage bookmark as a keepsake. Bookmarks will be distributed to teachers on the day of the show.
