DIVE INTO SHAKESPEARE WITH YOUR CLASS
Whether it’s your students’ first experience with live arts, or an opportunity to bring the page to life as a supplement to your curriculum, our Student Matinee series has something for every class.
Your experience begins with a live performance on the stage of the world’s only re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theatre, the Blackfriars Playhouse. With your Student Matinee booking, you’ll receive a FREE study guide to supplement your lesson plans and unleash the wonder of Shakespeare in the classroom before and after the show. Plus – you can enhance your experience with an interactive workshop with our Education Team.
By putting words into action, our comprehensive approach sends students back to the classroom with a fresh look and appreciation for curriculum titles (and more).

A Note on Content
No matter the title, Shakespeare’s language often includes a racy joke or bawdy comedic bit – and, if it’s a history or tragedy, there will be a sword fight and at least one character is very likely to die. We are happy to invite children aged 7 and up to the Playhouse, but the appropriateness of the content is at the parent or guardian’s discretion. For a more in-depth look at the shows, though it may not be the most scholarly answer, Wikipedia often has a detailed synopsis of the plays (with, of course, plenty of spoilers). You can also request a more detailed list of potential content considerations for the title you are seeing from our Group Sales Team.
Extend YOUR EXPERIENCE
In addition to world-class performances, we offer interactive workshops on topics intended to cure your students’ ShakesFear. Add one or more of these workshops to your visit to create a learning adventure for your class unlike any other.
Workshops last about 45 – 60 mins and start at $15 per student.
Can’t stay after a show?
ASC Education can bring the workshop to you—either virtually or in-person at your school (distance radius and fees apply).
