Student Matinees
< BACK TO SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Education sits at the core of Round House Theatre’s mission. Round House’s Student Matinee Program provides school groups with a comprehensive, exceptional theatrical arts experience through a package of opportunities designed to engage, educate, and entertain. Seeing a great play does not simply introduce students to the world of theatre; it excites curiosity, incites empathy, and encourages independent thinking, proving to be an invaluable educational tool for holistic learning in the modern world.
- Student Matinee performances begin at 10:00 am
- Performances are at Round House Theatre, 4545 East-West Highway in Bethesda (one block from Wisconsin Avenue and the Bethesda Metro station)
- High school students receive one FREE ticket through our Free Play program, which may be applied to one of our regularly scheduled evening performances or to your group attending a Student Matinee.
- One free adult chaperone ticket is provided for every 10 student tickets
- Study materials are provided to help teachers and students prepare for and follow up the performance
- Post-Show Discussions immediately follow every Student Matinee performance
