UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State aims to make the performing arts more affordable for families with the creation of a program.
The Arts Engagement Family Program provides discounted tickets to families that meet the eligibility requirement of a household income of $60,000 or less.
Program benefits include:
- reduced ticket pricing starting at $10 per ticket for most shows, and no ticket higher than $25;
- family-friendly events and activities; and
- value-added offers from the Center for the Performing Arts and its partners.
Approved families will be able to choose two to six tickets for each event, with a maximum of five events. Tickets are $10 for each event, with the exception of “Our Planet Live in Concert” and “Fiddler on the Roof,” which are $25 each.
