About

Free Tickets for Community Organizations

Center Theatre Group’s In The House program distributes free tickets to select early performances at the Ahmanson, Taper, and Douglas for qualifying nonprofit and educational organizations. Because we have amazing educational and youth programs like our Student Matinee Program and FreePlay ticketing initiative, we prioritize LA County nonprofits and other local community organizations.

ELIGIBILITY & FINANCIAL COMMITMENT

Any nonprofit, community, and/or educational organization is eligible to apply. Examples include community centers, service organizations, youth empowerment organizations, middle and high schools, community colleges and universities. Student organizations that are recognized by their educational institution also qualify for In the House. Organizations and schools in Los Angeles County in under-resourced communities will receive priority for enrollment.

Tickets are free, if selected through the application process. Participating groups must provide their own transportation to the theatre.

Frequently Asked Questions

Applications are released about one month before each In The House applicable production. Please join our Interest List or follow us at @ctgcommunity to get notified when application cycles open!
Choose a point of contact for your organization and have them fill out the application before the deadline. If your organization is selected, the point of contact will choose if the organization would like to place a group order for printed tickets to a single performance night or to receive a promo code to share with the organization members for them to reserve their own free tickets. We do recommend that organizations choose a specific performance date to attend together for a more memorable experience.
There is an application cycle per show available, so make sure you are on the Interest List to stay up to date! Organizations will be selected based on need, quantity of tickets available, prior program participation, and how the production aligns with the organization's mission and programming. We prioritize LA County nonprofits and other local community organizations.
Yes and no. Organizations should evaluate each production individually as our minimum age recommendations fluctuate. Please check out the show’s specific page on our website for more information.
It is not guaranteed that an entire group will be able to sit together. If your organization chooses to apply for a group order, the Box Office will try their best to sit your members close to each other. If your organization chooses to apply a promo code to multiple performances, only individual ticket orders will be sat together. When you reserve your tickets, you'll receive a confirmation email, but your specific seat location will be provided when your digital tickets are sent out. This helps us ensure you and your group get the best possible seats.
As a not-for-profit organization, In The House’s direct impact on our L.A. communities is only possible with your generous support. By making tax-deductible donation today, you can help keep the magic of live theatre accessible for all Angelenos. You may give here or contact us at 213.972.7564 to learn more.
