National touring/theatre accesstwusa produces professional theater for young and family audiences and then tours these productions to nearly 500 schools, community centers, and theaters across north america. This program reaches over 1.2 million children, educators, and families annually (more than 100 million individuals cumulatively served in the organization's lifetime), including many underserved youth and communities. Free and subsidized tickets are distributed to children and schools in need in an attempt to make live theater as accessible as possible. Special, free performances frequently take place in children's hospitals and areas affected by tragedy.
