Student Matinee Performances

Each season, Capital Rep opens its doors to hundreds of students who experience selected Capital Rep productions during the school day. Matinees are followed by an intimate question and answer session with Capital Rep staff and cast members of the production. In addition, one show per season is chosen to be part of Capital Rep's Classics on Stage series, which focuses on producing a work that can be easily integrated into the New York school curriculum.
