Student Tickets
At Long Wharf Theatre, we believe theatre is for everyone. We are committed to supporting the next generation of theatre lovers. We offer free tickets to any student in K through 12th grade, as well as $10 tickets for college students. We hope this radical access inspires our future to love theatre as much as we do.
Students are the future of theatre, and we know that ticket prices can be a major obstacle for many families. Our free student ticket initiative, launched in 2022, is central to our mission of creating a welcoming and inclusive arts community. Last season alone, over 500 students attended productions completely free of charge.
How it works
No Restrictions – Free K-12 and $10 college tickets are available for any Long Wharf production, no special requirements needed.
Easy Access – Claim tickets online through our checkout process or at the box office—no school ID or verification required.
No Limits – Students can attend as many shows as they want each season.
What Students Gain
Attending live theatre is more than entertainment; it's an enriching, educational experience that broadens horizons. We hope students leave inspired and become lifelong supporters of the arts.
We also offer pre-show conversations and post-show discussions, helping students deepen their understanding of the productions they see. It’s a chance to connect with the community and learn more about the artistic process.
