School-Day Matinees
Each season Pennsylvania Youth Theatre productions are presented to 20,000 students and teachers during school-day matinees. For many children, this is their first opportunity to attend a professional play. For teachers, these literature-based performances are accompanied by curriculum-enriched Study Guides that promote classroom discussion, reading and language arts instruction. All school tickets are subsidized, and many children attend at little or no cost.

DramaWorks
A professional teaching artist will visit your classroom to help your students learn about the play while expanding their imaginations through exciting theatre activities. It is a great way to extend the theatre-going experience while connecting to your curriculum.
One-hour DramaWorks can be held in your classroom, with a maximum of 30 students, before and/or after the play for only $60 when you make your school-day matinee reservations.

Curtains Up on Reading
In these residencies, stories spring to life through story dramatization when a professional teaching artist visits your classroom. Students are guided to explore the themes, plot, character and world of the story through dramatic techniques
that foster literacy and a love
of reading.
