Victory Gardens Announces New Membership Program

Artistic Director Chay Yew and Managing Director Chris Mannelli announce the new Victory Gardens Membership, an innovative program to encourage Chicagoans to frequent the theater and to take part in all programs at the venue.

Memberships are $15/month (based on a 12-month agreement) and are available year-round. Members are offered admission to almost any performance at Victory Gardens, including all Victory Gardens-produced shows, all Resident Company productions, all Public Programming, and many Visiting Companies (some exclusions apply). Members receive one reserved admission per production and are welcome to return an unlimited number of times on a standby basis. Members may bring a non-member guest with them at a 20% discount for a regular ticket. Members receive discounts with all Victory Gardens restaurant partners and access to exclusive specials at the VG bar.

Memberships are available on Wednesday, March 25, 2014 online, www.victorygardens.org and by phone at the Victory Gardens Box Office at The Biograph, 2433 N. Lincoln, 773.871.3000. Prior to Wednesday, Memberships are available by phone, 773.871.3000. Traditional subscriptions to the Victory Gardens 5-play season are also available and start at $100.

Managing Director Chris Mannelli states, "We have created an alternative loyalty model to traditional subscriptions; one that appeals to a wide range of audiences-especially a diverse, younger group of patrons we are seeing more and more at our theater. In today's market, you can buy everything for a monthly fee: movies, music, even t-shirts and razors. Why shouldn't art be as accessible and hassle-free?"
