STUDENT MATINEES
2010-2011 Season 

Now is the Time to Request Your Tickets for the 2010-2011 Student Matinees!

The Alley Theatre offers school groups the opportunity to experience professional theatre at an affordable price during the school day (tickets are just $11 or $12). Prior to the matinee, teachers receive a Study Guide to help prepare students for the performance. In-class presentations are also available to teachers who are interested in having an Alley Theatre teaching artist visit their classrooms prior to the student matinee to lead “world of the play” discussions and activities with the students (by request only and subject to availability).

Would your school like to receive a Pre- & Post-Performance Student Matinee Workshop?

Please note that the Alley asks student matinee group leaders to take responsibility for determining whether a play is appropriate for their particular group. The Alley Theatre does not censor or edit the content of the student matinee performances. We will answer questions about the plays to the best of our ability; however, we encourage you to participate in our Between the Lines program to see and learn about the play ahead of time to determine its suitability. Between the Lines is free for educators bringing a group to a student matinee.

Between the Lines is part of the ECE program Playwriting 360°.
