Ashraf’s Story

I fell in love, at the tender age of 14, with TeenTix.

It was exciting, and new, and unpredictable, and visceral, and thrilling. It fed my curiosity and desire to embrace the unknown, step out of proverbial ‘boxes’ and ‘zones’, at a vital time my life (and ALL LIVES, for that matter); it stimulated my enthusiasm to explore and embrace experiences that I otherwise would not have been exposed to.

TeenTix unveiled to me and my friends a side of my city (and LIFE, for that matter) that I had simply known nothing about. Suddenly that which had been velvet-roped off became accessible and affordable; that which I had groundlessly ignored became fascinating and inspiring.

Because of TeenTix, I went on to study Arts Administration in New York City with full confidence in my projected career path. Today, I am (probably) the youngest arts administrator around these parts and, ultimately, I am who I am because of TeenTix.
