The Prairie Center Arts Foundation has created two programs which benefit people in need.

• Theatre Buddies meets an important need in the community by providing free tickets to performances at the Prairie Center for the Arts to those with special needs. Tickets provided by Theatre Buddies make the arts accessible to under-served and at-risk populations in Schaumburg and surrounding communities including economically disadvantaged families, persons with disabilities and senior citizens.
  
• Arts Partners serves the children of growing Latino populations, many of whom immigrate to local schools without the language skills to engage in the educational process. The programs provides many students with their first experience attending a live performance.

The Theatre Buddies and Arts Partners programs bring people to the arts and the arts to people, contributing to the quality of life in Schaumburg and surrounding communities. For more information, contact Lucinda Flodin or call (847) 923-3608.
