FINANCIAL  ASSISTANCE

If your students can not afford the full ticket price, we can offer assistance for attending the student matinees.  It would be helpful if you could tell us the percentage of free and reduced lunch students at your school and an idea what your students can afford.  If you have just a couple of students, tell us and we can allow them to pay what they can.

If your school does not want to cover the cost of the bus, we can assist with some of that expense.  Just let us know how much assistance you need, and we will see if we can cover it.

If your school requires that the substitute teacher is paid for, we can also help with that.  Just let us know the amount.

We really want your students to experience live theatre so whatever your problem financially, just talk with either Pat or Kara and we will see what we can do to make your trip a reality.
