The theater is such a rip-off! I enjoy a play and would go often if the tickets were priced lower. Then they lament that no-one supports the arts. We can't because it's too costly to take a family to see a show. Simple as that.

Thank you, pennywise. :) I agree with Jewel. It would be excellent if more companies took on board an initiative like this.

I agree with you, cookiefan. I like live theater very much and only go once in a blue moon for that very reason. It's an expensive night out.

Aquariums offer discounts too. I know it's not arty, but it's another alternative place to visit. Check their sites to find out before you make plans. Some only do it once a year but you might get lucky! :)

That's a nice way for them to give back to the community. More companies should support cultural events. Then we might be able to afford to do more of things like going to the theater and seeing a play.
