The High School Matinee Program (HSMAT) has been providing Baltimore City students access to Everyman’s productions completely free of charge since 1997.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS ARE SAYING:
“I really think the program is valuable. Seeing words come to life is the ultimate goal of literature. Plays make this happen. It also is such a great way for students to see all of the work come together into a fantastic production. It was great to return to the theatre. The students were able to be in person and loved seeing what was taking place. They were so wonderful and it was great that they could experience it.”
Rushie M., Bard Early College High School, English and African American Studies teacher
“It makes my students feel that they are no longer other, but part of the conversation. Their thoughts and dreams matter and there is hope for a different future just by engaging in the arts. It showed a different side that you wouldn’t ordinarily see . I am so proud.”
Elizabeth S., The Excel Academy, English teacher
“The students’ excitement and awe was palpable. They were comfortable and engaged. The special environment of the matinee program: live theatre, warm reception from the staff, inclusion in the introduction to the play, and the post show conversations affected them ALL positively. on the bus ride home, they wanted to know when we were coming back.”
Marianne A., Baltimore Lab School, Drama teacher
