Student Matinee
performances complement classroom studies and enable teachers
to promote literacy and cultural awareness, while also allowing
students to gain a deeper understanding of dramatic literature
and the theatrical tradition.
Each teacher receives
a comprehensive Study Guide,
a valuable tool for pre-show preparation and post-performance
reflection. The experience includes a "talk-back" session
following the show, engaging students in a highly informative
dialogue with the actors as well as members of The Shakespeare
Theatre's artistic and production staff. By bringing a group
to The Shakespeare Theatre and using the activities in the
study guide, teachers enable students to meet New Jersey Core
Curriculum Content Standards in areas such as Visual and Performing
Arts, Language Arts Literacy and Social Studies.
