Student Matinees
The Rep offers special 10:30 a.m. student performances of most of our Mainstage productions at the special student price of only $10 (with the exception of the 2011 production of Trail of Tears at the Missouri History Museum). The Rep’s Education department offers curriculum connections and additional support programs providing instructors a unique way to integrate the arts into their lessons.
Teachers bringing groups to student matinee performances may request a Rep Docent for advance classroom presentations at no additional cost. Prior to attending the theatre, teachers will receive an e-mail Study Guide containing information about the play and playwright, historical articles, recommended research and information relating the play to real-life, all designed to correspond to the Missouri Show-Me Standards and the Illinois Learning Standards.

Seating: Seating locations are assigned in the order that full payments are received. If you have a student requiring wheelchair or special seating, please call in advance so that we may accommodate you.
Special Needs: The Rep offers many options to patrons with special needs. Blind patrons may enhance their experience through audio description on iPods. We also offer infrared listening headsets and an open caption screen for deaf or hard-of-hearing guests. Please call two weeks in advance if you have a student who would like to take advantage of these services.
