Trinity adding cheaper tickets
01:00 AM EST on Tuesday, January 6, 2009
Trinity Repertory Company is making it easier in these hard economic times for Rhode Islanders to attend their shows. For the rest of the season, the theater will be making available 5,000 more $20 tickets. A limited number of these tickets will be available for every performance of every show, from Lorraine Hansberry’s classic Raisin in the Sun to The Importance of Being Earnest. Ticket prices at Trinity run from $20 to $60 for top-priced seats, and $10 for a back-row bench in the upstairs theater.
“We know that many people in our community are feeling the effects of the economic problems right now,” said the theater’s artistic head, Curt Columbus, “so we created this $20 ticket program to let our friends and neighbors know that an entertaining, enriching night of theater is still within everyone’s reach.” The discount does not apply to prior purchases or for remaining performances of Adam Bock’s The Receptionist, which closes Sunday. Tickets can be purchased by phone at (401) 351-4242 daily between noon at 8 p.m., online at www.trinityrep.com, or at the box office at 201 Washington St., Providence.
Other shows in the season include The Secret Rapture by David Hare and the world-premiere of Laura Schellhardt’s Shapeshifter.
