“Mom, Yo-Yo Ma is my Justin Bieber.”

That’s what a Texas Performing Arts staff member heard a young girl say to her mother following a recent performance by Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. Not only is this a touching story, but also a meaningful reminder of the power of live performance and the importance of providing young people with easy and affordable access to the performing arts.

As a university-based performing arts center, we believe that the performing arts have a remarkable capacity to add meaning and cultural context to a student’s overall educational experience. That’s why we offer $10 student tickets to all area students to every performance we present, including Broadway shows and touring concerts.

Through our $10 student ticket program, Texas Performing Arts has achieved the highest student attendance rate of any university performing arts center in the nation, but we need your help if this important educational program is to continue.

Generous donors — like you — make it possible for us to offer these deeply discounted tickets to students across the region. For every $20 donation to the Student Ticket Fund, we are able to provide one area student with a $10 ticket. During the 2010-2011 season, the Texas Performing Arts Student Ticket Fund served 15,000 students, and with your support, we plan to double this number during our 30th Anniversary season.
