39 STEPS, SHEAR MADNESS and More Join Forces for OFF BROADWAY TOY DRIVE Next Week
The Off Broadway League is recognizing the needs of the less fortunate this holiday season -- particularly under privileged children -- by launching an OFF BROADWAY TOY DRIVE, December 12th - December 22nd, benefiting Safe Horizon, the largest non-profit victim services agency in the United States, touching the lives of more than 250,000 children, adults and families affected by crime and abuse throughout New York City each year. In exchange for one new donated toy, participating theaters will give away one ticket to one of their productions between now and December 22.
Safe Horizon provides compassionate and expert support for people who have experienced:
- Domestic and intimate partner violence
- Child physical and sexual abuse
- Violent crimes committed against a family member and within communities
One free ticket will be given away for any new toy with a value of $10 or more. Only one free ticket will be given per group. A group can be classified as a single individual, a family or an organization. Just walk into any participating theater and donate a toy valued at $10 or more and you will receive a ticket for that day's performance only.
