Living & Learning in Our Neighborhood, a secondary program, offers the kids enrichment in arts, cultural and educational activities such as the African Dance and Drum Ensemble, Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, August Wilson Center for African American Culture, Pittsburgh Ballet, Gemini Theater, Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, Beechwood Nature Walks, Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall Museum, Westmoreland Museum, South Park Children’s Theatre, Fort Ligonier, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Andy Warhol Museum, Phipps Conservatory, RiverQuest, Fort Necessity, Civic Light Opera, and the Frick Museum.
PERFORMANCE 360
Funded in part by the PNC Foundation, Performance 360 goes beyond sending a child to a single performance or event. The program is centered on a live performance and integrates additional activities to create interactive, educational, and engaging events for underprivileged youth. Our goal is to provide supporting activities to help kids appreciate and understand the performance better.
Celebration of Reading
Part of the Performance 360 program, Celebration of Reading is a collaboration between Tickets for Kids Charities and Prime Stage Theatre on a teen literacy program each year. This educational program encourages teens to read a specific book, create an art project, watch the live stage performance, and discuss the performance with actors after the show.
Tickets for Kids also runs a variety of Donor Ticket Programs.
