Registration Instructions

Thank you for your interest in the 2025-2026 Performances for School Groups!

This form also includes the application for the "Get on the Bus” Scholarship. Title I schools are eligible to apply for this program, which provides support to attend one Kennedy Center school performance per school including tickets and transportation. If you are interested in purchasing tickets to another performance outside of this scholarship application, you will need to submit a NEW registration form in addition to this one.
