In addition to the tickets, post-performance talkbacks for attendees are planned whenever possible and TDF Memberships are provided.

“Our cultural institutions, including the bright lights of Broadway, are one of the best parts of our great city and it is important to ensure all New Yorkers can enjoy them, especially veterans,” said NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson. “Veterans have served our country and I thank TDF for continuing to serve our veterans.”
