Boxtales Theatre Company has been offering the highest quality live performances for school assemblies since 1994.
Since the start of the Covid -19 Pandemic and because of the restrictions that it placed on school assembly programming, we immediately transitioned to offering a number of our shows in a digital format to ensure that our unique assemblies and arts programming would continue to educate, inspire and entertain students.
All the digital assemblies are crafted with the California Department of Education content standards in mind, and come with new Social Emotional Learning (SEL) focused Learning Guides, (plus extensions), designed for maximum engagement. Below are Boxtales Digital Assemblies for booking.
