TDF Open Doors was founded in 1998 by TDF along with the late playwright, Wendy Wasserstein and was the first arts education program to be given a Tony Award Honor for Excellence. The program pairs groups of 8 students from 24 underserved New York City high schools with a mentor who is a distinguished theatre or dance professional. Throughout an entire school year the students attend six shows – Broadway, Off Broadway or dance. Each performance is followed by a 90-minute discussion over food with their mentors. The students also keep journals to reflect on and document their experiences. At the end of the year, Open Doors celebrates with a ceremony to honor all participants.
