marketing, membership & outreach. The theater's membership program is its principal means of audience development. Its expenses are the costs of servicing a group of approximately 30,000 lincoln center theater members, each of whom, after payment of an annual fee, is entitled to purchase one ticket to each of the theater's productions at a substantial discount (subject in some circumstances to availability) and to receive special information and service in the ordering of tickets. Over 12,000 student and younger members, under the linctix program, are entitled to membership benefits and discounts without the payment of an annual fee. The theater's education program (open stages) for children from low-income families attending new york city public schools consists of a series of professional development sessions for teachers and classroom workshops led by teaching artists. Educational activities in the high school program are connected with the theater's productions (for which free tickets are provided to students and teachers) and the performing arts in general. Open stages includes three additional components. The shakespeare program is a semester-long study that culminates with a student production of an abridged version of a shakespeare play. The lead (learning english and drama) project was devised to help e. N. L. Students in high schools and middle schools improve their english-language speaking skills by utilizing theater techniques. The songwriting in the schools program, designed to enhance the writing curriculum in the public schools, brings young professional lyricists and composers into classrooms for nine-session residencies in which they teach students how to write lyrics from a character's point of view and then set their words to music. All education program components reach a total of approximately 4,300 students and 80 teachers each year.
