Education

The Morrison Center Education Department connects people across Idaho to the transformative power of the arts through engaging educational programs. We work with schools, teachers, and students of all abilities to inspire creativity, spark imagination, and foster lasting change in communities.

⥤ CELEBRATE & SUPPORT ARTS EDUCATION – By recognizing the achievements of high school musical theater programs, we highlight the importance of arts education and advocate for its continued presence in schools.

⥤ FOSTER PERSONAL GROWTH & CONFIDENCE– By providing performance opportunities, mentorship, and workshops, we help students develop essential life skills like self-expression, resilience, and teamwork.

⥤ BUILD A THRIVING ARTS COMMUNITY – Through engagement with professionals, peers, and audiences, we create a supportive and inspiring environment that strengthens Idaho’s arts community.

⥤ PROVIDE ACCESS & OPPORTUNITY – By making professional theater experiences and education more accessible, we help bridge the gap between students’ artistic passions and potential career paths.

The 2025 Patty Duke Awards have officially wrapped, and what an incredible celebration of student talent it was! As we close out this year’s program, we’re already looking ahead with excitement to next year. Take a bow, take a breath, and take in the sunshine—have an amazing summer! We’ll see you next season.
