Our education program aims to provide students and teachers with as much access to theatre, both on stage and behind the scenes, as possible. We recognise the role theatre can play in students' learning, broadening their horizons, inspiring and challenging them as they journey into adulthood. Company B is delighted to offer school matinees of all our subscription season shows, the chance to tour backstage and workshops run by industry professionals.

Through our Education Partner, Freehills, we also offer increased access to our shows for students from Priority Funded Schools.

We're also very open to suggestions! Let us know what we can do to support the teaching of drama at your school.

See you at the theatre soon.

Company B Education Program

School matinee performances

We hold up to five school matinee performances of each of our subscription season shows.

A question and answer session with the cast follows each school matinee performance and teachers' notes are available online for each production.

Book early to avoid disappointment. In 2007, we had a waiting list of schools wanting tickets to Parramatta Girls and Exit the King - don't let it be your students who miss out in 2008!

Learn more about our next school matinee performances for Neil Armfield's production of Scorched playing at 11.30am on 6 August, 14 August, 20 August and 27 August.
