STUDENT MATINEES


Theatre is an essential part of all our lives. Whether we are gathered in an auditorium, sitting around the kitchen table or sharing in the classroom, telling stories helps us understand who we are and who we want to become.

Actors Theatre loves to tell a good story! As the State Theatre of Kentucky, we create astonishing shared experiences for you and your students that celebrate, challenge and explore who we are.

We venture into your classroom and prepare your students to visit a new world filled with fascinating characters and riddling conflict. We create extensive teaching guides infused with Core Content connections aimed at sparking curiosity and discussion. And we inspire students to find their own voice, tell their own stories, and imagine the role they may someday play in our community.

Join us for an astonishing STUDENT MATINEE experience at Actors Theatre!

Actors Theatre conducts Pre-show and/or Post-show classroom workshops for no extra charge. These experiences are subject to availability and fill up quickly. Please book your workshop with Actors Education at least two weeks in advance of your matinee date. We look forward to meeting you and your students.
