Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city
Back in 1776, Philadelphia was the city where a new idea called “The United States of America” was put down into words. It was here that the Declaration of Independence was signed by Jefferson, Franklin and others who risked everything so that America would be free.

Educational Tours That Connect Students With History and Performance in Philadelphia
At Educational Performance Tours, we enable music, dance, and theatre programs to connect classroom lessons with artistic experiences. Our performance tours for student groups combine opportunities to perform, learn from industry professionals, and experience the excitement and energy of Philadelphia: bringing American history and artistic opportunities together in one journey.
Each program has its own goals, priorities, and vision for what’s possible. That’s why we design each tour around your curriculum, budget, and goals, choosing experiences that give students a reason to practice with purpose, perform as one, and reach beyond what they thought they could achieve.
Put Learning Into Practice
A visit to Independence Hall or the Liberty Bell can prompt conversations about ideas students encounter in class. Pairing historical experiences with artistic activities gives the trip a broader educational purpose.
Students can practice listening, teamwork, and preparation as they move from familiar rehearsals to new settings. Teachers can build on these experiences through discussion, reflection, and follow-up classroom activities.
