Subsidies for Tickets and Transportation
Student matinee tickets for MPS and Choice students are free of charge this season, thanks to the generous support of our education sponsors. In addition, MPS and Choice schools may request subsidy for bus transportation costs.
To take advantage of subsidized programming, please indicate when you request tickets whether your school is MPS, Choice or otherwise in need of program subsidy. Please also indicate whether your group seeks subsidy for tickets only or tickets and transportation. The amount of subsidy is contingent upon ticket inventory and availability of remaining allocations.
Note: School groups, not Milwaukee Shakespeare, are responsible for hiring bus transportation. Down the MPS/Choice Field Trip Checklist for information on how to book a bus for your trip and take advantage of transportation subsidies through Milwaukee Shakespeare.
