Student Matinees

TheatreWorks’ student matinees aim not only to cultivate young audiences, but to inspire the next generation of theatre artists. These low-cost, daytime performances are held specially for school groups, offering youth in our community the chance to engage with stories we tell onstage amid an audience of their peers.
All student matinees will be immediately followed by a talkback session with the cast and crew of the show to allow for further discussion and education on the performance, historical aspects, production elements, and artistic careers.

Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley

By Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon

Move over Charles Dickens, Jane Austen is here for the holidays. This charming seasonal comedy is a romantic sequel to Pride and Prejudice, told with Regency respect but a modern sense and sensibility. As the beloved Bennet sisters gather for carols and confections at the Darcy’s Pemberley estate, perennially passed-over sister Mary retreats into her books and fantasies. Will an unexpected guest lead her in an enticing new direction? It’s Christmas after all.

Recommended for grades 5 –12.

$10 tickets are available now through November 28th! To request tickets, please contact Patron Services Manager, Andrea Garcia at agarcia@theatreworks.org.
