Student Matinees

Experience Tony Award-winning theatre with your students, right here in Silicon Valley! These low-cost, daytime performances are held specially for school groups, offering youth in our community the chance to engage with the stories we tell onstage, amid an audience of their peers. Before the show, educators receive a Guidebook full of information and activities to connect the art onstage to the work in their classroom. After the show, TheatreWorks hosts a talk-back between the cast and the student audience.

Student matinee tickets will go on sale eight weeks before each performance. If your school would like to attend multiple matinees, please place an order for each show when the ticket request window opens. Student tickets are $10 each; chaperones are free. We ask that you have at least one chaperone for every ten students.

Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley

Thursday, December 12th, 2024 @ 11am
Lucie Stern Theatre, Palo Alto

By Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon
Directed by Jeffrey Lo

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.

Ticket requests for this matinee will be accepted October 17 –December 5, 2024.
