SCHOOL MATINEES

Every season, The Cleveland Play House offers School Matinees for grades K through 12. Each show has curriculum connections and offers a unique opportunity to integrate the arts into an instructor’s daily lesson planning and individual teaching style.

Every matinee performance comes with a study guide that features information exploring the context of the play—its time period, characters, production history and genre. The guide also contains student activity sheets, a glossary of theatre terms, and crossword puzzles.

The Cleveland Play House Education Department works closely with its Teachers’ Advisory Committee, which is made up of teaching professionals throughout Ohio. This committee reads scripts from the season and connects them to the Ohio Academic Content Standards. Student Matinee study guides are then developed through these connections.

Chaperones
We advise all groups to provide an adequate number of chaperones and prefer at least ONE adult chaperone (a teacher or parent) for every 15 – 20 students.  Teacher tickets are complementary.  Parent chaperone tickets can be purchased at the student rate.

Tickets & Seating
Individual tickets are not issued for school matinees. We operate on an OPEN-SEATING basis. When you arrive, a Cleveland Play House staff member will greet you and seat your group in the appropriate theatre. Please let us know, prior to your visit, if you need specific seating for students with special needs.
