Student Matinees

Bring your students to our beautiful downtown space, and let them experience live theatre, performed by professional, local artists. Let them hear the sumptuous and witty language, listen to our musical selections before and during the show, watch thrilling swordfights, and share in an intimate and powerful production of some of the greatest plays ever written. Every performance is followed by an optional talk back with the actors, where students deepen their understanding of Shakespeare, and find out about the making of the play, performing arts careers, and how Chesapeake Shakespeare Company connects with its audience.

Parking Information

If you are arriving by car: On weekday mornings, our downtown parking partner is a neighboring business,The QG, located at the corner of Calvert Street and Water Street. You may use The QG’s parking valet service, which opens at 9:30am. Look for the umbrella and valet stand on Water Street. Valet parking is $12, and the attendant parks your car in the Water Street Garage. No shuttles or buses, please. Most other garages will charge community day rates greater than $20. Most metered parking is restricted before 10am, so we recommend using the valet or a garage.

If you are arriving by school bus or shuttle: Please coordinate with us to pull up on the Calvert Street side of the building and drop off students safely. Buses must then move to another location. No parking is permitted on Calvert Street before 10am.
