School Matinee Performances

We are proud to present performances throughout the school year for those teachers who make the community their classroom and wish to introduce their students to live theater.

While there is nothing quite like the live experience, we wanted to find a way for you to share great quality theater for young audiences with your students. For the 2020-21 school year, we will offer streaming performances adapted for asynchronous learning. 

Each streaming package will include:

• The show, segmented into videos approximately 20 minutes long
• Educational resources created by the performers
• Pre- and post-show workshops created by Playhouse Square teaching artists
• A teacher resource guide

Streaming Performances for Schools are available for $20 per classroom, per show. 

Closed captioning is available on all videos for accessibility.

Social Justice Series

This past June, Playhouse Square, along with many local organizations, released a public statement committing to fight systemic racism in our community. As part of our commitment, we proudly introduce our Social Justice Series as part of our Streaming Performances for Schools lineup: five plays, all of which explore the issues we continue to face as a community and a nation, through the perspectives of a range of outstanding artists of color. Titles were intentionally selected to provide age-appropriate offerings spanning Kindergarten through high school, so you can select the best performance for your classroom.
