RE: 30,000 Free Tickets to Students for “Dolly”
When I was a student in High School, I went to see my first Broadway Show, “The Man of La Mancha” in New York City on a student discount coupon for $5. It inspired me to love and someday produce events like conferences and Broadway theater.
Now, 30,000 students in New York City will be given free seats to see ‘Dolly” on Broadway in 2027 by the producers of our show. It builds on Dolly Parton’s deep philanthropy to students, libraries and reading.
Here is our good friend and colleague, Katie Rose Clarke, playing the grown up Dolly in this exciting musical. We are proud to be a part of the producing team. Link to Info

What an incredible opportunity for students! There is nothing like seeing an amazing musical. When I was at University of Maryland, on rare occassion, my friend and I would catch a weekend ride to NYC and stand in the TCKTS line to get a ticket to a show. I worked in the dorm cafeteria so that was hard earned cash. I can't imagine getting a free ticket back then. Incredible!
