For Students and Teachers

Holiday School Matinees

Each December, the Rep presents a special production for grades K-8. Performances take place on weekday mornings, and children come to the theatre with their schools. Following the show, kids have an opportunity to meet the cast and crew and ask questions about what they have seen. Each year, up to 1500 children come to the theatre during the two weeks of our School Matinee program. Thanks to the generosity of the Bertha Russ Lytel Foundation, the performances are offered at a very reduced rate and no child is turned away due to inability to pay.

Study Guides

Each year, The Rep provides an in-depth study guide for teachers and students, for at least one of our productions, helping area teachers fit theatre study in to their curricula. Because we also offer deeply discounted tickets for school groups (see the Ticket Page for more info), a teacher can bring his or her class to see a show and then follow up with our study guide materials.

We have produced study guides for a variety of productions including: Lettice and Lovage, To Kill A Mockingbird, Macbeth and Medea.

Theatre Tours for School Groups

The Rep offers half-day tours of the facility and accompanying lectures on theatre production to all county elementary and high schools at no charge. This is a great opportunity for students to see what happens behind the scenes, in the scene shop, costume shop, lighting booth and box office, and it provides an introduction to the complex organizational tasks of mounting a production. We annually provide this service to more than 500 school children, ages 6-18. To schedule a tour, just contact our box office.

Community Service Hours

Because The Rep is a non-profit educational arts organization, students may fulfill their community service requirements by volunteering at the theatre. Jobs are available in all areas, no matter what the student's particular interest. In addition to work in all aspects of theatre production, we are looking for assistance in computer design or data entry, general office work, building and shop maintenance, box office operations, our art gallery, and much more. Have your students call the theatre for information as to how they may become involved, have a great time, and be a part of their community.
