Central Square Theater is offering live, in-person Student Matinee performances for the 2021-22 Season. Note that for the safety and comfort of all who attend our shows, all audience members must present either proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test in order to enter Central Square Theater. Learn more about our in-person Safety Protocols.
We know that, for many schools, the logistical complications of the pandemic make off site field trips difficult right now. For that reason, we are aiming to make as many mainstage shows as possible available for virtual booking, as well.
