Student Matinees

It's said that the best teachers possess a flair for the dramatic.

They find the story in a lesson and bring it vividly to life.

In the same way, this year's wide-ranging plays will get your middle and high-school students thinking deeply about vital lessons of history, philosophy, art and the humanities. Thrill your students with the power of live professional theatre, and give them lessons that will last a lifetime.

Joe Keller wants the American Dream. His son wants to marry the girl next door. His wife wants their eldest son–missing-in-action–to come home. An explosive secret from Joe's past, however, threatens to tear this "All-American" family apart. Set in the wake of World War II, this electrifying drama won Arthur Miller the 1947 Tony Award for Best Play and established his place as one of America's greatest playwrights.

A Cappella Humana is a musical celebration of our common humanity that explores the power and boundaries of the human voice. It blends innovative and uniquely arranged compositions from Baroque to jazz, from secular to sacred, from Broadway to hip hop, and so much more!

Crowns

Thursday, 4/19, 10:30 am
by Regina Taylor | adapted from the book by
Michael Cunningham & Craig Marberry

A young woman who moves down South to live with her aunt is given a lesson in "hat-titude" in this toe-tapping musical. From feathered hats to flowered hats, pillboxes to turbans, to hats for work and hats for church, there is a hat for every occassion, and a cultural and historical significance to them as well as "Mother Shaw" and her "hat queens" share in their stories. This soul-stirring musical demonstrates the handing down of culture from one generation to the next and celebrates the refuge, equality and healing that occurs in this place of spirituality.

Appropriate for ages 13 and up.
