San Francisco Performances’ popular Family Matinees bring some of the world’s top creators and performers into engaging, entertaining and informative exchanges with younger audiences. Usually about an hour in length, Family Matinees typically feature complete performances with an interactive component—sometimes a Q&A with the artists, sometimes with audience participation—designed to give a deeper glimpse behind and inside what’s on stage. Artists are particularly experienced in communicating with young people, inspiring them to learn more about music and dance.
