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.
