"We can't accept these tickets because we can't get there."

When Rodman for Kids began hearing from educators that transportation costs were preventing students from attending Theatre for Kids performances, we listened. What started as feedback became action, leading to transportation support becoming a permanent part of the program. 🚌

In the latest episode of The Brighter Futures Podcast, we discuss how removing barriers helps create more opportunities for kids to experience the performing arts.

🎭 Last week, more than 6,000 students experienced Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s Stage2 production of "Romeo & Juliet."

Through our partnership with CSC, every student was able to attend at no cost to their school or family, making it possible for thousands of young people to experience the power of live theatre, many for the very first time!

Thank you to our Theatre for Kids supporters who helped make this incredible opportunity possible for kids across Massachusetts: Liberty Mutual Insurance, Yawkey Foundation, Martin Richard Foundation, Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism, South Shore Bank, Hamilton Company Charitable Foundation, The Quin Impact Fund, and Thomas A. Pappas Charitable Foundation! 💙💚
