Support TYKEs

One of TYKEs' key missions is to provide access to live theatre for young people who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend a live theatre performance. Toward this end, each season we offer hundreds of free and heavily discounted tickets to less-advantaged school children, families in need, non-profit human services organizations serving children, and to organizations serving individuals with special needs. We also offer discounted weekday school show tickets to all educational and non-profit organizations.

Important Facts:

  • Ticket sales do not cover the costs of underwriting this type of community support - only contributions can make these efforts possible.
  • TYKEs is a not-for-profit 501 c 3 organization so, your donation is deductible to the full extent of the law.
  • Every penny contributed to TYKEs is used to create theatre - building awe-inspiring sets, costumes, and props and commissioning the highest caliber professional actors and production staff.
  • Financial data on our current and past seasons is available upon request.

We are most grateful for the generous support we have received in the past from area foundations, corporations
and individuals.
