WHAT YOU’RE STEPPING INTO WHEN YOU BECOME A MEMBER

Your NYU Skirball membership will grant you deeper access to the people, moments, and conversations that make our work possible.

OPENING NIGHT

Attend opening night parties where artists, academics, and audiences come together.

MEET THE ARTISTS

Higher tiers get exclusive access to artist meet-and-greets after select performances.

FIRST IN LINE

Member pre-sales mean you can pick the best seats before anyone else gets a look.

BEHIND THE SCENES
