Together…
Bridge the Gap!
When you BRIDGE THE GAP, you keep matinees affordable for Chicago students!
To produce beautiful shows, YPT needs to charge $30 per student, but we only charge schools a rate they can afford: $11 per student. That’s where you come in!
This Giving Season, we hope that you will make a contribution to YPT’s vital BRIDGE THE GAP campaign to help us raise $20,000.
This fund will bring 1,100 local students to school matinees across the season, including upcoming productions of A Year with Frog and Toad, The Hobbit, and the joyous Hula-Hoopin’ Queen.
But that’s not all…
Your generous support will also
enhance students’ experience with free comprehensive studyguides and cast-led talkbacks
support our talented, committed, and demographically representative TYA artists
back an administrative team that will sustain and grow YPT as a leading Chicago theatre
100% of your donation will go towards changing young lives through theatre! Your gift provides a local student (or class!) with the ability to attend our School Matinee Program.
“Thank you for providing rich, beautiful, meaningful, powerful theater experiences for the children of Chicago and those who love and teach them.
The impact of what you do does not end when the house lights come on. It goes well, well beyond.”
— MK, General Studies Director
