Full-time college and graduate students with valid student ID are also eligible. Limit two tickets per production; restrictions may apply.

Upcoming eligible performances include I & You: The Musical (through October 12), Bobby Sanabria Multiverse Big Band: West Side Story Revisited (October 4), Celia Cruz: A Tribute to the Queen (October 10), Aida Cuevas: The Queen of Mariachi (October 17), Chris Thile (October 18), Step Afrika! (October 25), 300 Paintings (October 29–November 2), Kyung Wha Chung (November 5), Kim’s Convenience (January 23–February 15), Emanuel Ax (February 6), and more.

The new program joins McCarter’s Stage Door Access initiatives, which include scholarships for youth education programs, free and discounted student matinee tickets, partnerships with local non-profits, and $1 tickets for SNAP and Work First New Jersey recipients at every performance.
