matinee

[mæt￨ əˈneɪ]

Answer 19

A matinee is a term used to describe a daytime performance or screening of a play, movie, or other performance art, usually held in the early afternoon. The word “matinee” is derived from the French word “matin,” which means “morning.” The concept of matinees became popular as a way to provide additional showtimes for theatergoers who were unable to attend evening performances or preferred a daytime show. Today, matinee performances are common in cinemas, theaters, and other performance venues, and often come with reduced ticket prices compared to evening shows.
