Mission Statement

TDF is a not-for-profit service organization dedicated to sharing the power of the performing arts with everyone. Our mission is to engage a broad and diverse audience by removing the financial, physical and invisible barriers to attendance. TDF welcomes NYC’s vibrant communities to the theatre because experiencing the performing arts improves mental health and social connections.

Vision Statement

TDF envisions a world where the transformative experience of attending live theatre and dance is essential, relevant, accessible and inspirational.

Manifesto

For everyone who ever saw something live on stage
or dearly wished they could.
For every kid who wonders what if.
For every teacher who’s looking to light the spark.
For everyone who wants to know the thrill
of the live experience, but thinks it’s not for them.
We’re here to say: it’s for all of us.
For the enthusiasts, the young, the old,
the newbies and the nostalgics, the critics,
the purists and the innocents.
For those electric moments that change
how we see, think, feel, live.
For all those players, producers and creators
who make the magic.
For today’s shows and audiences – and tomorrow’s.
For everyone who wants to feel the power
of the performing arts.
We’re here.
We’re TDF.
