Actors Theatre of Louisville Launches New Community Ticket Grant Program

Actors Theatre of Louisville has announced the launch of a new city-wide initiative for the 2016-2017 Season and beyond; the Community Ticket Grant program. In serving Actors Theatre's mission to unlock human potential, build community, and enrich quality of life by engaging people in theatre that reflects the wonder and complexities of our time, the Community Ticket Grant program extends the opportunity to experience Actors Theatre's robust programming to any of Louisville and Southern Indiana's residents, who for various reasons, may not have the resources to attend a performance on their own.

"We are delighted to present more opportunities for everyone in our community to participate in the power of Live Theatre, as that is at the very core of Actors Theatre's mission," said Julie Roberts, Director of Development. "Our theatre is a National Treasure, and everyone deserves a chance to experience this world-class art. We want our audience to be reflective of our dynamic and diverse community, and the Community Ticket Grant program is one more way to remove any barriers to access."

Qualifying community groups and 501(c)(3) charities serving individuals in the greater Louisville and Southern Indiana area are welcome to apply to receive complimentary tickets to an Opening Night performance from a selection of Actors Theatre's 2016-2017 Season Brown-Forman Series, holiday shows, and 41st Humana Festival productions. Each group may apply for up to three productions a year with ticket quantities ranging from a minimum of 10 tickets up to a maximum of 250 tickets. The selected groups will be awarded tickets to one of their three production choices for the 2016-2017 Season. Groups will work with Melissa Hines, Marketing Manager, and members of The Actors Theatre Box Office to coordinate attendance details and seating selection for their group members.

Deadline to submit applications for the 2016-2017 Season is August 5, 2016. Additional season information, program rules and restrictions, and the online application form can be found at actorstheatre.org/community-ticket-grant. Specific questions may be directed to Melissa Hines, Marketing Manager, at mhines@actorstheatre.org or 502.584.1265 x3140.
