Programs for Children

Working with cultural and educational partners, we strive to offer a variety of  enriching programs for children at Mechanics Hall throughout the school year.  From live concerts and theatrical productions to opportunities to perform on the Great Hall stage, Worcester school children learn, expand their skills, and have fun.

Here are some of the programs offered for Worcester youth at Mechanics Hall:

Concerts for Kids:  As part of the Grade 6 Culture LEAP for Worcester Public Schools, Concerts for Kids is supported by the Worcester Educational Development Foundation through a grant from The Alden Trust and the Stoddard Charitable Trust.

Many Voices: The anchor youth program at Mechanics Hall, Many Voices is a free, non-audition youth chorus open to 5th and 6th graders from every Worcester school and neighborhood.

Beyond the Frames: Stories of Hope: Part of the series of programming celebrating the installation of Mechanics Hall’s newest portraits, Stories of Hope celebrates the lives and legacies of Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and William and Martha Brown. Award-winning storytellers Len Cabral and Valerie Tutson, in collaboration with the electrifying Ammaya Dance and Drum, will present stories and performances celebrating the significant contributions of these figures
