Shotgun Players Make a Difference (MAD) Program supports the future of live theater. How? Since 2014 we’ve offered discounted tickets to anyone 25 and under – over 8,500 eager young audience members have come to our theater with our MAD tickets.

We also offer paid MAD Fellowships for emerging artists. Over 40 people have participated in our program. Come to Sassafras and meet some of our current MAD Fellows – and alumni!
