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. 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.

Payment: You will be sent an agreement form upon placement of your reservation. Please review your reservation specifics, sign and return a copy of this form to confirm your reservation. Full payment is due three weeks prior to the performance date.
Parking: The Rep cannot accommodate motor coach and bus parking on site. Motor coaches and buses should arrive early to drop off students, at which time drivers will be given directions for parking and pick-up procedures.
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.
