Northern Stage offers school-day matinees of selected professional productions. Students will enjoy the full-length professional production at a STEEPLY DISCOUNTED PRICE, as well as a study guide provided beforehand and a talk-back with the actors immediately after the show. This is a great way to expose your students to great art featuring Broadway actors, but it’s much more. History comes to life before their eyes as they immerse themselves in the world of Elizabethan England, Depression-era New York and Chicago in the Jazz Age.
Annie
by Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin & Thomas Meehan
Thrill to one of the most acclaimed musicals of all time, nominated for 10 Tony Awards and winner of 7, including Best Musical. Set in the 1930s, students will enjoy an up-close-and-personal look at life during the Great Depression, including the plight of orphans, the power of the financial barons, and the contrast between the very rich and the inhabitants of Hoovervilles. Classic songs include “It’s A Hard-Knock Life,” “Tomorrow” and “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile.”
“An intensely likable musical.” The New York Times

Chicago
by John Kander, Fred Ebb & Bob Fosse
Based on a true story, this musical showcases all of the glamor and the corrupt underbelly of Chicago in the 1920s, when gangsters ruled the streets. The trial of showgirl Roxie Hart—based on the real-life murderer Beulah Annan—gives students a glimpse at the criminal justice system, the role of a freewheeling, sensationalist press, and the early fascination with “celebrity criminals.” Featured subjects include history, the social system during Prohibition, journalism and the court system. In addition, students will see a classic example of the choreography style of the legendary Bob Fosse, who influenced a generation of dancers.
Featured songs include “All That Jazz” and “Razzle Dazzle.”
“Pure show-biz electricity.” The New York Times
