Student Matinees
Ignite Curiosity.
American Stage offers a number of special performances for student audiences through our Student Matinee program, including live onsite productions and digital productions for your students.
Experiencing live theatre empowers us all to be bolder, wiser, and more compassionate on stage and in life. Through our student matinee program, many students have the opportunity to see a play for the first time, and to foster a love for powerful storytelling and the performing arts. We select plays in our season that support what local educators are teaching in their classrooms.

About the Show:
Picture it. 1986. An all girls school in Ghana and there’s a new girl in town, an American, who challenges the reigning queen bee. There’s a prestigious pageant on the line, which could provide the opportunity to move up in the world to the lucky winner. This is a funny and touching story about the universal teenage struggle, and the need to feel like you belong. The Hollywood Reporter said it was “ferociously entertaining, as heartwarming as it is hilarious” and the Washington Post called it a “charming comedy of adolescent angst.”
“A ferociously entertaining morality tale that proves as heartwarming as it is hilarious…” —Hollywood Reporter
Age recommendation: Grades 6-12
