Starlight Theatre offers free ticket program

As Starlight Theatre, located in Kansas City’s Swope Park, celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2010, it continues a valued program that has existed since its inaugural 1951 season.

Starlight’s Community Ticket Program will make available 364 free tickets to every night of every Broadway performance to qualifying area organizations.

Interested community and nonprofit groups must complete and submit a Starlight Community Ticket Program application by mail by March 15.

The program is available to 501(c)(3) charitable organizations operating in Missouri and Kansas. Starlight gives priority consideration to organizations that serve underprivileged and at-risk youth, the medically dependent or disabled, and low-income senior citizens.

With five Broadway shows and 31 performance nights scheduled for the 2010 Starlight season, more than 11,000 free tickets are available for donation this summer to qualifying organizations.
