Banking on Nostalgia: How TYA Theatres Fundraise

How do you raise money when your audiences aren’t earning their own income?

Theatre companies who help youth make work out of their own concerns are empowering them for life as well.

Many of TYA’s longtime aims—dramatizing thorny subjects, modeling diversity and tolerance—are more relevant than ever.

If you can look beyond ‘A Christmas Carol,’ these festive family shows prove there are plenty of ways to deck the halls.

These theatres prove that you don’t have to be a TYA-specific theatre to commission and produce shows for kids and teens.

Shows in Nashville, Kansas City, and New Haven are asking kids to form opinions and make decisions about important issues.

Chicago Children’s Theatre and Imagination Stage are establishing fruitful partnerships to present dance/theatre to their audiences.

Two shows at the New Victory Theater show the importance of technology in live performances for young audiences.

First Stage, New Visions/New Voices, Imagination Stage, and more are staging original stories for young audiences.

In creating work for babies and toddlers, Alliance Theatre, Metro Theatre Company, and others get back to the roots of theatremaking.
