Classroom Matinee: A Touring Program

To eliminate financial and geographic barriers of attending our theatres, CPH brings theatre education programs directly to schools.

CPH is proud to commission and produce professional touring theatre with relevant themes for young audiences like anti-bullying, racial tolerance, socio-economic inequality and conflict resolution.

Following each performance, our arts-integrated workshops provide excellent starting points for engaging classroom discussions while fulfilling the Common Core State Standards. 

Parent workshops are available in the evening on the day of school performance. Parent workshops are designed to give parents the tools to talk about anti-bullying, racial tolerance and socio-economic inequality with their children in a positive and productive way. These workshops also meet requirements for Title One funding designated to support parent education.

Our Plays

Jacked (grades K-4)

Jack and his mother live happily ever after. That’s usually how the story ends. But in this imaginative world of shady deals, magical beans and break-beat music, happily ever after is just the beginning for Jack. When his farm can’t feed him, his community can’t support him and his own mother can’t care for him, Jack takes matters into his own hands and steals a golden goose. But the eggs that goose is laying turn his world upside down, and Jack goes on a journey that will change his life forever.

Kicked (grades 5-8)

Diondre and Karen are best friends and teammates on their middle school soccer team. But as others begin to bully them, Diondre and Karen struggle to remain friends and do what they love to do: play soccer. 

Companion Arts-Integrated workshops will use theatre techniques to help students understand and address the various types of bullying.
