Community Ticket Program: 5 things to know
Hope Horne
As part of Overture’s free and low-cost programming, the Community Ticket Program offers affordable tickets in partnership with local organizations that build community, provide essential services and enrich the lives of local residents. Designed to provide individuals and families who might not otherwise have the opportunity, the program ensures that more members of our community can experience the joy of live performance.
Here are five things to know:
1. The program is available through local nonprofits and social organizations
Eligible participants for Community Tickets must be connected to a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit or government agency serving people in need. Organizations apply at the start of each season, and once approved, they can access tickets through their individual promotional code throughout the season.
2. Tickets are always under $5.
Thanks to the generosity of our resident companies and show partners, a limited number of tickets are donated to the program when available. Participants only pay a small facility fee, which helps cover ticket processing and supports the ongoing maintenance of our building and operations of our nonprofit organization, keeping the program sustainable and ensuring continued access to the arts for our community.
3. Yes, you can see Broadway and more!
The program offers a wide range of performances, from national Broadway tours like “Funny Girl” and “MJ the Musical” to beloved local productions by Overture’s resident companies. With everything from musicals and orchestras to comedy and family shows, there’s something for every interest and age to enjoy.
4. It’s first come, first served.
Tickets are limited and can go quickly. Most purchases are limited to five tickets per order (though limits may vary). Partner organizations receive monthly emails listing available shows and are encouraged to share them promptly with their participants. Make sure you have an Overture account so you can purchase tickets.
5. You can help spread the word.
