Community Supported Tickets

Childrens Theatre Company increases access to our public performances by distributing over 5,000 subsidized tickets each season through mutually-beneficial partnerships with community leaders at organizations serving young people, their families and mentors.

To ensure mutual investment and high rate of usage, subsidized tickets are provided using a 'matching grant model', asking the organizations to pay a small fee to participate.
