STUDENT MATINEES

CONNECTING THE CLASSROOM TO THE STAGE
MCC’S STUDENT MATINEE PROGRAM

It has been a long time coming and MCC cannot wait to welcome students and school groups back to our theater home in Hell’s Kitchen. This season we have a wonderful line up of dynamic productions that will spark conversations which can be continued in the classroom. Whether touching on social topics or stories that are the core of our collective humanity, coming to see a show at MCC is a great compliment to your curriculum and arts education experience.

MCC is making every effort to make our space a welcoming and safe one for our audiences. As we continue to navigate COVID-19, MCC, in accordance with the CDC, New York State and New York City mandates, has established the protocols for our audience members. Please read through our COVID PROTOCOLS at the bottom of the page.

What should you know about STUDENT MATINEES this season?

  1. Student groups have the flexibility to attend any matinee or evening show that fits their schedule.
  2. Middle school, high school and college groups of any size qualify for our student pricing of $25 per ticket.
  3. Our Education department provides a SHOW GUIDE for each production to prepare students for their visit. Each guide includes insight into the show, activities and suggested prompts to jump start the discussion before and after the show.
  4. Select matinee performances are followed by a post-show discussion facilitated by our education team.

We are proud to offer our Subsidized Student Ticket Program for schools that would otherwise not be able to attend one of our productions. Fill out the online request form below.
