1776 Student Matinees!

Today was the last 1776 Student Matinee performance! This was a set of five performances the Walnut did for local Philadelphia area high schools. The past two weeks we've had dozens of high schools and between 3000 to 4000 of students come to the theatre to see free performances of the production. This was a fun challenge for me since I was the one coordinating between the theatre and the schools - I was reaching out and inviting schools, managing their bussing and seating accommodations, and assisting with day-of operations that was run by the group sales team.

Overall I'd say this was a resounding success and I'm glad I was able to take such a lead with the performances, even if it was difficult at times. These performances were possibly in Philadelphia Funder Collaborative and I hope that this is the first set of student matinees for local schools in the future!
