One of the most extensive and admired programs in the country, the Huntington's Education Department serves more than 10,000 students each year with subsidized tickets to student matinees and after school programs that introduce students to the theatre.

The Huntington's Department of Education & Community Outreach has provided opportunities for more than 250,000 students and members of the Greater Boston community since its inception. The Huntington's community access programs include audio-described shows and ASL-interpreted performances that make it possible for blind and low-vision patrons and Deaf and hard-of-hearing theatregoers to enjoy Huntington productions, as well as special discount programs for community groups such as Elder Arts, Big Brother/Big Sister, and AIDS Action.



DID YOU KNOW?

There are three ways you can help subsidize the cost of our student matinees and other programs. 

The Massachusetts Cultural Council and your Local Cultural Council offer grants that are specifically geared to help fund trips to arts institutions, like the Huntington!

The BIG YELLOW SCHOOL BUS program funds transportation costs of educational field trips to cultural institutions and events.

You can apply for reimbursement on the cost of your visit to us through the LCC PASS program.
