Linking Arts with Education

We believe the arts are a powerful tool for educators and a powerful experience for students. By linking the arts and education, the Palace Theatre’s School Matinee Series exposes students to live performances that support curriculum content. The 2018-19 School Matinee Series underscores the importance of literacy, STEM, and behavioral concepts related to bullying, kindness, and relationships with family and peers. These concepts are presented in fun, musical productions performed by professional touring troupes. Students enjoy learning while being entertained in the area’s largest “classroom.” Additionally, teachers receive personalized study guides with each performance to implement in the classroom. For reservations please contact the School Matinee Coordinator (740) 383-2101 or tickets@marionpalace.org. Showtimes for each performance are 10 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. Admission is $3.50 per student and chaperone.

Monday, Oct 15, 2018
Grades K-4

Athena Lorenzo has been slimed, and she doesn’t think it’s very funny! There is a practical joker on the loose in Ms. Gleason’s class, so it’s up to Jigsaw (Theodore) Jones and his friend Mila to catch the clown. This might be their most slippery case yet. Brimming with music, charm, and humor, ArtsPower’s production, based on the book by renowned author James Preller, will make students laugh and think as they learn the secret codes that Jigsaw must decipher to solve the mystery.
