We were all a little sad about that, too! The kids asked some good questions in the Q&A but most of the actors answers involved things in Act 2 that we hadn't seen.

I heard a lot of the kids sharing where they could pirate Act 2 on our way out of the theater lol

The police escort is to ensure we arrive at the theater at the same time. Moving 3000+ kids across the city is a feat in and of itself.

The Hanover Theater has adopted South High and Burncoat as part of a program. Every year we take both schools to see a performance. This year, we got to see the first act of Hadestown.
