Arts engagement program to offer discounted tickets to eligible families

The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State aims to make the performing arts more affordable for families with the creation of a program.

The Arts Engagement Family Program provides discounted tickets to families that meet the eligibility requirement of a household income of $60,000 or less.

Program benefits include: 

• reduced ticket pricing starting at $10 per ticket for most shows, and no ticket higher than $25;

• family-friendly events and activities; and

• value-added offers from the Center for the Performing Arts and its partners.

Approved families will be able to choose two to six tickets for each event, with a maximum of five events. Tickets are $10 for each event, with the exception of “Our Planet Live in Concert” and “Fiddler on the Roof,” which are $25 each.

Visit Arts Engagement Family Program to apply.

If you have questions or suggestions regarding the new program, please contact Keith Brainard, customer service supervisor, via email or by calling 814-865-5011.
