Y.E.S. Fund

Imagine a child traveling to new lands, listening to Martin Luther King, Jr. speak, watching classic works of literature come to life, participating in pivotal historic moments...

With a few artists, lights, a little stage magic and a child's imagination, the possibilities are endless.

Diana Wortham Theatre's Young Audience Series serves more than 5,000 students and teachers every season - stretching minds, working imaginations and deepening learning.

Now imagine the children left behind.

In most cases, schools do not pay for fields trips. Parents do, including the high cost of bus travel. Some families cannot afford to send money to school for extra activities.

Your gift can make a different in the life of a child. For just $10, you can sponsor a child's trip to the theatre and open a whole new world of possibilities.

Imagine the possibilities. Support the Y.E.S. Fund!
