Student Matinees
Supported in part by The Lucille Lortel Foundation and Newman's Own Foundation
"The production was outstanding and the impact on our students and faculty will last a lifetime! ...Parents have been calling to share how appreciative they were that their teens had such a meaningful experience."
- Middle School Teacher
Westport Country Playhouse values the opportunity to introduce younger audience members to the wonder of live theater.
By bringing your class to the Playhouse for a special student matinee production, you are not only deepening your students’ understanding of important curricular concepts, but allowing the power of live performance to take each one of them on their own personal journey of exploration and discovery!
We are currently planning our 2013 student matinees. Stay tuned for further information!
