They must be paid for at the time they are ordered. Homeschool tickets are non-refundable, but may be exchanged to another student matinee performance by contacting the Box Office no later than the day before your current performance by 4:00 pm, in accordance with our standard exchange policies.

Please note, children under the age of six are not permitted in the theater.

A number of scholarship tickets are available to school groups. These grant-funded tickets help make attendance affordable for your students. Please contact the Box Office to inquire about availability, or you may request scholarship tickets when booking.

Study Guides

Study guides to accompany Our Town, Romeo & Juliet and The Merry Wives of Windsor will be available in late August. Study guides include summaries, character descriptions, videos, podcasts and background information about the play help your students engage with rich, poetic language of APT's Shakespeare productions.

Past study guides are available on APT's Resources page now.

Each fall, APT offers workshops designed to accompany our Student Matinee performances. Workshops are underwritten by APT's generous education sponsors and available free of charge to student groups attending a Shakespeare performance.

• These 45-minute workshops introduce students to the plays using various techniques to make story, language, character and theme vivid and accessible.
• Teachers may choose from several workshop topics to optimize their students’ experience. Workshops are available to prepare students for their visit or as a follow up after seeing the play.
• Due to continuing COVID protocols, APT will offer workshops a bit later than usual this year - October 10 - 21. Capacity will be very limited, and the workshops will be scheduled first come, first served.

If you are interested in having a workshop, please let us know when you book your tickets, or complete this form online, no later than September 23, 2022.

Student groups are welcome to attend regularly scheduled APT performance from June through October.

Discounted tickets are available for student groups (with a minimum of 15 people) for select performances.
