The TKTS Booth in Times Square and an auxiliary booth at 2 World Trade Center, both operated by T.D.F., offer tickets to Broadway and Off Broadway shows at 50 percent or 25 percent off. High 5 Tickets to the Arts is a nonprofit organization that aims to develop young audiences by making cheaper prices available to students. The tickets can be bought, with student identification, at certain Ticketmaster outlets. A limited number of daily student rush tickets are offered by some Broadway and Off Broadway shows. I mentioned my plan to Roy Harris, who was the stage manager for my last three plays.
Stage managers are wonderfully organized people.
I know we're at a meeting at the Theater Development Fund. Among its many functions, the nonprofit T.D.F. runs the half-price TKTS booth on Broadway and works to develop new audiences. Just make sure it's no one who is looking to get an agent or meet Drew Barrymore. I want students who have never been to the New York theater, and let's see if it's at all still relevant to them. Being a Brooklyn girl, I was hoping to include students from every borough.
