Our Student Matinees often sell out! If your desired Student Matinee is full, try joining us for an evening or a weekend performance; we offer discounted student group tickets that may be as little as $3 more than the Student Matinee series price. We also encourage you to call the Box Office at (773) 753-4472 to ask about potential availability, and fill out the Groups Form in case there are any openings.
We want to make sure that all students can experience the power of live theatre, and we’re happy to work with schools to make that happen.
