MTC teaching artist Tommy Shepherd at San Andreas High

At MTC, we believe that the arts are a vital component of every child's education. We provide live performances and theatre arts classes to schools across Marin, sometimes at little or no cost to the school.

Student Matinees [LINK]
Student matinee performances with special discounted pricing are available for all our productions; our 2009-2010 student matinee schedule is now available.

MTC provides Performance Guides filled with information and ideas for classroom exercises that put the play in context and prepare students to see the production.  To get an even deeper look at the play, MTC can send a teaching artist into the classroom before and after the performance, to help the classroom teacher integrate the play into the regular school curriculum.  This integration can be designed to meet California and NCLB standards.

Teachers' Night Out
Teachers from Marin County public and private schools are invited to attend a free pre-show discussion and performance at MTC, where they are given study guides and opportunities to speak with the artistic staff in an effort to help teachers to incorporate theatre into their curriculum. Marin County teachers email education@marintheatre.org to be invited to Teachers' Night Out.

Classes and Workshops [LINK]
MTC brings professional instructors into schools around Marin County for drama classes either afterschool or as an addition to the regular curriculum. Students engage their imaginations as performers or playwrights, learning to express themselves creatively while building self-esteem. Recent schools include MLK and Bayside in Marin City, San Marin High, Edna Maguire in Mill Valley, and Brandeis-Hillel Day School.
