PERSEPHONE THEATRE SCHOOL MATINEES 2008/09

 

I will be organizing school matinees this season for the main series at Persephone....(not the Persephone Youth Series) They are usually appropriate for a high school aged audience. If your kids are younger and you are not sure, talk to me about it. I will be there to chaperone, so you can drop off your children with me as long as they are able to sit through the production.

 

The first show up is WAITING FOR GODOT By Samuel Beckett which plays September 25 @ 12:30 PM

If you are interested in getting on the list for this, please call me soon, the tickets are limited and I need to confirm with Persephone 2 weeks prior. If we do not have enough interest it is not worth making this happen, so if you would like to see this kind of thing continue I would encourage you to support them or spread the word to others that may be interested. Thanks.
