Student Matinees

Bring learning to life

Student matinees give youth the opportunity to experience live theater – often for the first time – and help them actively engage with the stories and themes they see onstage. From contemporary new work to classic Shakespeare plays, this season's offerings promise to inspire and challenge young theatergoers of all ages. Performances sell out quickly, so reserve your tickets today.

We look forward to welcoming you and your students to the Guthrie!
