Student Matinee Performances
MTW holds special weekday performances to introduce children to live musical theatre. This program is offered at little or no cost to schools. We believe that exposure to live theatre is a crucial element for a well-rounded education.
For each age-appropriate Mainstage show, Musical Theatre West will present one or two special 10:00 AM performances. Free for all LBUSD schools and only $5 per student for those in other districts Students are treated to a professional Broadway-style musical at the Carpenter Center. In many cases, MTW is also able to underwrite the cost of transportation. Educators are also sent a Student Study guide for each production.
