Tdf membership program - the membership program also supports tdf's mission of encouraging and enabling diverse audiences to attend theatre and dance. Annually tdf makes possible the sale of approximately 575,000 deeply-discounted tickets to broadway, off-broadway, and off-off broadway theatre and dance performances to over 120,000 tdf members, who qualify for membership by certifying that they belong to one of thirteen categories making them eligible for discounted tickets.

Tdf schools and community engagement - the education program builds audiences for the theatre by introducing young people to live theatre and preparing them to engage as audiences. Approximately 11,000 new york city public school children are brought to theatre and dance performances annually at no cost to the schools or students, and in addition these young people participate in classroom workshops, post-performance discussions and playwrighting workshops designed to enhance and contextualize their experience. Tdf community engagement programs work to strengthen local audiences from every borough and neighborhood in new york city, currently working with over 55 centers or agencies.
