Money makes the world go round (part 1)

*New Feature* Do you think that going to the Theatre is too expensive?
THEN YOUR WRONG!
There are so many opportunities to see theatre for cheap or even for free. I will like to share some of my secrets with you on how to attend shows while staying on budget ! Here are my "getting started" top three ways to save.
  1. Join newsletter to your favorite theatre. Most theatre's websites will have info on how to sign up. For example Center Theatre Group's e-mail newsletter is full of discounts, info on upcoming events, etc. They send e-mails out at least once a week or ever other week for all three of their theatres.

  2. Join your favorite show's newsletter/ fan club. Especially if you are going to New York to see a show join a fan club ahead of time and they sometimes have special offers just for there fan clubs/ newsletter subscribers. Example: I joined Spring Awakening's fan club/newsletter and I was able to buy on stage seats for $40 a piece to see the show on Broadway compared to the normal $75 or $110 for a ticket in the house. Also, they often have cool extra stuff to giveaway to fans like signed soundtracks, t-shirts, etc.

  3. Play contests! TV stations, Radio stations, and other media are always supporting theatre and they often have giveaways. Go to the websites of your local stations and see how to entry. Trust me, winning tickets for free is so worth filling out some entry forms.
