Access Program

Hennepin Theatre Trust works with Twin Cities educational, cultural and social service providers through our Access Program to offer tickets to underserved members of our community so they can experience the best of Broadway, music, lectures and dance. These tickets increase access to the arts for people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend a live theatre event, raise awareness of the cultural options in the Twin Cities and encourage patrons to bond with friends and family.
If you have tickets for an event at one of our theatres and cannot attend, please consider donating your tickets to the Trust's Access Program. Simply contact Rachel Huntzicker at 612.373.5695 or rachel [dot] huntzicker
hennepintheatretrust [dot] org. Your donation is 100% tax deductible for the full face value of the tickets. You will receive a letter from us to use for your tax deductible purposes.

What Participants Are Saying:
"I had 24 seniors who were thrilled to attend Riverdance. One participant said it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and another said it was the best performance she had ever seen! We had a few non-English speaking participants originally from Russia who were also amazed by the performance. The residents talked about the show throughout intermission and on the bus ride home. Thank you!”
- Rita Kach, Coordinator, St. Louis Park Senior Program

“Thank you for all of the tickets we have received over the years. I consider myself very fortunate to be involved with this wonderful and rewarding program and I am most appreciative of the sponsors who continue to support this worthwhile and important program. They are providing the opportunity for many people who otherwise would not have the means to attend the performances of the many fine shows that come through the Twin Cities.”
