To claim a FREE TDF membership—which runs for one year from the date of enrollment—graduating high school seniors at New York City public and charter schools can email gradgift@tdf.org to request a registration link. They must prove their eligibility by providing an OSIS number or a copy of their school ID during registration.
Once registered, they're eligible to purchase discount tickets at prices up to 70 percent off for a variety of performances, including Broadway shows, off-Broadway performances, off-off-Broadway, music, opera, and dance. Ticket prices range from $11-59, and you can learn more about TDF's Graduation Gift and the benefits of a TDF membership here.
Registering for their year-long TDF membership allows each senior to enter a drawing to see Hell's Kitchen, the new musical from Alicia Keys, on the last day of school: Wednesday, June 26. The entire house is being turned over to the grads, who can also enjoy a special graduation party on the red steps in Times Square before showtime.
If you can't take advantage of this offer, which runs all summer long, we've rounded up all our top tips for saving on Broadway tickets here.
