Ticket & Travel Subsidy Fund

The Palace Theater Ticket and Travel Subsidy Fund is a program designed to provide financial assistance to Title One Schools and not-for-profit organizations whose students otherwise would not have the opportunity to attend live theater performances. Schools applying to receive these funds are selected on a legitimate need basis and can receive up to a 100% reduction in ticket prices to presentations featured in the Palace’s ShopRite Education Series.

The  Ticket and Travel Subsidy Fund has had several contributors over the past years, both corporate and individual, as well as public and anonymous. Last year alone, the Fund provided approximately 1,854 subsidized tickets to local schools and organizations. To date, the Fund has provided ticket subsidies to over 5,300 students throughout the state of Connecticut.

As the need for subsidized tickets continues to outnumber the available funding, the Ticket and Travel Subsidy Fund will remain an integral piece of the Palace’s mission. Any businesses or individual parties interested in running their own Ticket and Travel Fundraiser, or those who wish to donate to the fund, are encouraged to contact Palace Development Officer Natalie Lawlor at 203-346-2009.
