Student Matinees

Students are an important part of the audience for our professional main stage productions! We produce high-quality classical theatre from September through May, and student audiences are invited to every show. Each student’s $11 ticket includes a weekday morning performance, a pre-show study guide to help them prepare, and a post-show Q&A session with actors from the show.

Students have the theatre space demystified, they get a live introduction to the plays they’re studying, and Seattle Shakespeare’s artists and staff get to enjoy bursts of laughter and raucous cheering like no adult audience could provide.

“One of my students told me she struggled to keep up when reading Shakespeare in class and that seeing it performed allows her to feel more connected to the story as it is unfolding.”

Love's Labor's Lost

Student Matinee Dates

Friday, November 8th @ 10:30am
Thursday, November 14th @ 10:30am

Love’s Labor’s Lost is a witty and charming Shakespearean comedy that follows the King of Navarre and his friends, who vow to dedicate themselves to scholarly pursuits and avoid romance for three years. However, their plans quickly unravel when they encounter the Princess of France and her ladies, leading to a whirlwind of love, mischief, and clever wordplay. The play explores the complexities of love, friendship, and the folly of making promises that are hard to keep.

This all-BIPOC cast reimagines Love’s Labor’s Lost with a fresh, witty twist; blending sharp humor and vibrant energy in a tour-de-force of love, language, and laughter.
