24 hour ticket SALE--The Arena Stage New Deal.

This represents a savings of up to 60% off regular ticket prices for more than 25,000 tickets.

“We know our D.C. audiences have been affected by the financial crisis, just like our entire country has,” remarks Artistic Director Molly Smith. “I believe Arena Stage has an important obligation to our community—to provide the highest quality entertainment at reasonable prices so that everyone can access our productions.”
Smith continues, “With the recent economic downturn, citizens are being forced to make some difficult decisions, so we want to do our part to lighten the load. The Arena Stage New Deal is our theater-going stimulus to give patrons a chance to see great productions at an amazing discount and to continue their loyal support of Arena Stage.”
