Student Matinees are specially scheduled weekday shows offered to area schools for Commonweal productions playing during the school year.
For only $5 per student, classes receive the following:
- Theatre ticket
- Pre-show workshop by the actors
- Study guide
- Video enhancement materials
- Theatre lobby art installation tour (on request)
- Post-show talk-back
