Student Matinees
Laugh, be moved and engage
For many Minnesotans, their introduction to theater was a field trip to the Guthrie where they saw stories onstage that illuminated our common humanity. Through our student matinees, we create a positive learning environment that values thoughtful questioning, recognizes mistakes as learning opportunities, and encourages honest and open dialogue.
Educators are invited to use the resources on this page to help create the best educational experience for you and your students at the Guthrie.
