matinées
Afternoon theater performances
Matinées is the plural of matinée, an afternoon performance of a play, movie, or other entertainment.
Theaters typically offer matinées on weekends and holidays, often at reduced prices: We caught a matinée since evening shows were sold out.
The French spelling with the accent is standard, though matinees without it is common.
