SEASON 73: 2024-2025
Shows are FREE for ALL to see!
DJT is continuing to seek ways to knock down barriers that make it difficult for kids and families to experience the arts. Therefore, we are happy to announce that will continue making all mainstage productions free to see! Rather than passing that cost directly on to families, we are seeking individuals, businesses and grant funders who believe the arts should be accessible to all kids.
