The North Carolina Theater in Raleigh also offers great deals to students and educators on their Student Preview Night. Per their web-site, the details are as follows: "Student Preview Night (SPN) was created by North Carolina Theatre to give all students and educators the opportunity to see a Broadway musical at a discounted rate. A Q&A session immediately follows all SPN performances, giving the audience an opportunity to speak with members of the cast and crew.
All Student Preview Nights take place on the Friday before the show opens to the public at 7 p.m. at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts.
Tickets to Miss Saigon, The Sound of Music and West Side Story are $10 for students and educators with a valid student/educator I.D. Tickets to High School Musical 2 are $16 for students and educators with a valid student/educator I.D. To purchase tickets, call the NC Theatre Box Office at 919-831-6941 x6944. All tickets are held at will call and are available for pick up from 6-7 p.m. the night of the performance with your student/educator I.D. The same deal is available one hour prior to show time during the regular run of the show.
Season Tickets for Student Preview Night are available and are only $46 for the entire season. When you purchase a season ticket you will receive the same seats for every show and save money on handling fees!"
Another perk to the special that the North Carolina Theater offers is that you can also download a study guide for student to use prior to and after the performance to enhance their educational experience. A point of interest for homeschoolers, only one parent will be allowed the discounted rate of $10 with a valid North Carolina Homeschooling I.D.
