Secundary education
Introduce your students to theater
Are you looking for an active approach to a day of culture in Eindhoven? Planning a visit to a performance and needing some additional support? Wanting to introduce your students to (Park)theater in an unforgettable way? There are a variety of 'stepping stones' for entering the world of theater, taking into account age, background and education. We offer something for everyone -- in terms of performances, but also in terms of additional support such as workshops and educational materials.
If you would like to discuss this further, or if you have a particular wish, we would like to hear from you.
Age
12 to 15 years old
Identity, mimicking, temptation, feeling different, switching off, youth culture – these are themes that may arise in youth performances. The themes are often in response to current topics or things that are nowadays being used, read or seen by young people. What is in today might be out tomorrow.
15 to 18 years old
Young people in this age category are generally also welcome at our performances for adults.
Season 21/22
We have made a selection from our program specifically for secondary education and MBO students. Our offers is suitable for the subjects CKV or Art, but frequently also overlaps with subjects such as Social Studies, Citizenship Education, History or Modern Foreign Languages.
If you are specifically looking for a performance related to the dimensions of CKV, certain themes, or for a special group of students, we are happy to help you find the right performance.
Reservations can be made online via the teacher order form. Based on the number of orders per performance, we will let you know if the performance will take place.
The following is useful to know in this time of Corona:
- There is adapted capacity in the halls
- For a number of performances, we expect more students, and the capacity can be slightly increased because students up to the age of 18 do not have to keep a set distance from each other.
- For a number of performances, there is an option to perform them twice a day, for example at the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the evening.
- The program consists of more solo performances in dance and theater, and fewer shows and musicals.
- The spring program will be announced in the autumn.
- You may notice that there is no cabaret in the selection. You are welcome to attend such selections, but this must be done in consultation with the artist.
- CJP has decided to extend the culture card budget for the 19/20 season until the end of October 2021, provided that as a school you participate again with a culture card in the coming school year. You can read more about this on the CJP website.
- We have taken educational budgets into account as much as possible, however there are no special student prices this season.
- We adhere to the RIVM rules and we use the protocol of the VSCD (trade association for theaters). Read more about the safety measures in the Parktheater.
- With a group visit, we ensure that you are assigned a meeting place in the theater. This process will ensure that no congestion occurs.
One thing is certain for us: we are striving to provide a great live experience!

And, of course, Mozart's fantastic music stands central!
