The Collective NY is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 production company. Our No Empty Seats Program allows us to give away up to half of every house to those people who, for whatever reason, cannot afford to pay. With ticket prices soaring on Broadway, a huge part of our audience is being left out. We want to take away the idea that theatre is for an elite audience and one way we do this is to eliminate cost as a barrier to great theatre. Your tax-deductible contribution, however large or small, will help ensure that we can continue our mission.
