Educator Discounts
The IRT is a strong supporter of those who educate our youth! As a token of our appreciation, educators receive discounted tickets. Educators can purchase $10 tickets for themselves and half-price tickets for family ($25 minimum price on tickets after the discount) to all First Performances (the first Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) of a show’s run. For all other performances, educators can receive half-price tickets ($25 minimum price on tickets after the discount) for themselves and their families.
During A Christmas Carol, educators can purchase $10 tickets for themselves and half-price tickets for family ($25 minimum price on tickets after the discount) to any November performance and can receive half-price tickets ($25 minimum price on tickets after the discount) for themselves and their families for any other performance date.
Identification is required to take advantage of these discounts. The IRT will request identification to be shown in-person when receiving your tickets at the Ticket Office.
“I appreciate how accommodating you are to my students with special needs. They are always SO EXCITED to visit IRT.”Ben Davis 9th Grade Center

For Young Adults
Young Playwrights in Process
Be inspired by writing! Young Playwrights in Process (YPIP) is an online playwriting competition for Indiana students in grades 6-12. The competition was created by IRT in 2005 through the Margot L. and Robert S. Eccles Trust. YPIP encourages middle and high school students across Indiana to write, creating plays that reflect and challenge their world.
For Youth
Theatre Camp
Bring theatre to life at the IRT! Children new to theatre can learn the basics in the introductory camps, while more advanced actors can sharpen their skills at our intermediate camps. IRT Theatre Camp information will be added in January 2024.
Youth & Scout Programming
IRT offers a wide array of special programming, volunteer opportunities, and discount tickets for youth and scouts.
