Giving for Good: Free student ticket lottery

December 4, 2024

Donate to DCCF to help TL create program to give away free show tickets to area students

The cost of a ticket should never be a barrier to experiencing the transformative power of live theatre. Through this program, Theatre Lawrence will establish a student ticket lottery, providing high school students in our community the opportunity to attend regular season productions at no cost. Students can register for a chance to win free tickets, with 15 students selected per production. This initiative will remove financial barriers and foster a deeper connection to the arts, benefiting nearly 100 students annually and enriching their educational and cultural experiences.


Funding for this project is part of the Douglas County Community Foundation's annual "Giving for Good" campaign. Donate by Dec. 31, 2024.
