Your gift in support of the Playhouse’s Education Programs supports the artistic mission of Westport Country Playhouse by making live theater accessible to our entire community through the presentation of student matinees, family-friendly shows, and community programs; and through the development of supplemental teaching materials that connect our Season and family shows to local school curricula and age-appropriate literature.

Through our community programs, we seek to engage our region without regard to age, experience, or economic means. This is only possible with the generous support of our donors.

Student Matinees
We value 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!

Professional Development
Westport Country Playhouse is committed to providing educational opportunities for local teachers and arts administrators. We work to create educational programs that connect our shows to literature, history, music history and performance, and other subjects in local school curricula. Professional Development workshops at Westport Country Playhouse are open to all teachers in the region, in addition to arts administrators, staff, and home school educators/parents.
