CARDINAL OUTREACH

Cardinal has initiated a variety of popular programs to enrich the theatre-going experience and to make world-class theatre accessible to children and families.

Community Access Ticket Initiative

The Community Access Ticket Initiative is designed to facilitate access to theatre for all members of our community. In 2008-2009, 360 underserved children and family members attended a Cardinal show for free. Last season, the Community Access Ticket Initiative provided this opportunity for 1000 members of our community. Our goal for the 2010-2011 season is to bring 1500 students, children and family members to Cardinal Stage at no charge to the attendees. More info >

Cardinal for Kids

Cardinal for Kids is a series of plays for young children (ages 3-10). Cardinal launched the series with a production of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie in June, 2010. Cardinal for Kids will expand this season into a series of plays for young children and families.

School Matinee Performances

Special school matinee performances began in September, 2008 with The Diary of Anne Frank. Last season, the program expanded to bring in over 700 local high school students to four special matinees of Inherit the Wind. This season, both Grapes of Wrath and Romeo & Juliet will feature special student matinees.
