WHY: For over 25 years, the Kravis Center has helped students of all ages fuel their imaginations and expand their lives through comprehensive arts education programs. Last season, nearly 60,000 children from Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, St. Lucie and Okeechobee counties attended performances, such as The Lightning Thief, presented in Dreyfoos Hall, through the S*T*A*R Series. The Center's Admission Waiver Program ensures that no child is denied access to a performance based on ability to pay.
