Any Given Child

Tulsa is one of a handful of cities across the nation now participating in the Kennedy Center’s Any Given Child program. In partnership with Tulsa Public Schools, the Mayor’s Office, and 11 additional partner arts organizations in Tulsa, we ensure Tulsa students have at least nine live arts experiences by the time they reach high school.

The Tulsa Performing Arts Center is pleased to offer TPS kindergarten and seventh grade students a free live theatre performance experience as part of the Any Given Child Program.
