From its first official performances in 1919, The Muny has
welcomed all attendees, regardless of race, economic
standing or ethnic background and has provided free
admission to many. More than 100,000 guests (nearly
28% of total attendance) enjoyed complimentary
admission in 2015.
In addition to making available nearly 1,500 free seats
on a first-come, first-served basis, The Muny partners
with social service and community agencies to invite
underserved and special-needs audiences (including
at-risk children and youth, social service clients, persons
with mental or physical disabilities, retirement home
residents and others unable to attend on their own) to
attend a Muny performance free of charge.
Thank you to our partners for helping to make this possible:
Anheuser-Busch, Inc., Centene Charitable Foundation, Crawford Taylor Foundation and U.S. Bank Foundation.
