Grade level or age group attending performance*

If your group contains a variety of ages/grades, please write K-adult, or similar. Please refer to the school matinee page on our website for grade recommendations. All ages are allowed in the theatre, however everyone must purchase a ticket regardless of age, including infants and toddlers.

Number of people attending

The school matinee reservation form is for school or educational groups of 15 or more. If you have fewer individuals in your party you may call 515-974-5365 to purchase tickets if available. Tickets for groups of 15 or more are $7 per person regardless of age. Complimentary tickets are available to students on the free and reduced lunch program. A building percentage is typically used to determine final student cost.

Number of Students*

Please request the number of seats you realistically expect to need for your group. You may want to "pad" your request by a few seats if you anticipate class growth, however over requesting seats may prevent another group from attending. You may add tickets to your reservation at any time if tickets are available. Final ticket numbers are required 4 weeks prior to your performance. Infants and young children require a ticket and should be included in your count.

Number of Adults*

Please include all teachers, associates, parent chaperones and bus drivers if applicable. The Playhouse does not have a minimum chaperone requirement, and assumes each group will have enough adults to adequately chaperone their students based on their own group's policies.

Total Number of Seats Required*

Building percentage free and reduced lunch students*

If you are unsure about your building percentage, please go to the Iowa Department of Education website, educateiowa.gov, to locate this information, or ask your administrator. We use this data to determine your building's cost, even if your district participates in the USDA's Community Eligibility Program (CEP).

Performance Preference

1st Choice

2nd Choice

Please indicate what other performances would work for you.

The Playhouse will do everything possible to ensure your group gets into one of your first two choices. However, due to the intimate size of both our theatres, spaces do fill up quickly. Please indicate here an alternate date and/or time that would work for you.

Seating Requests and Other Services

The Playhouse is committed to remaining accessible to all patrons. Please indicate any special needs you would like us to be aware of such as mobility limitations, visual or hearing impairments, etc. Please consider both your students and all adults attending with your group. ASL interpretation is available upon request, but we do ask for 6 weeks notice. Please note N/A if not applicable to your group.*
