Three off-Broadway shows are offering discount prices during the transit strike that is likely to hit New York.  Today, December 15th, is the last day of negotiations between transit workers and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

The Culture Project (Allan Buchman, Artistic Director), by special arrangement with Winship Cook, Arleen Sorkin and Martin Davich, has announced a special discounted $20 "walk-up" ticket at the box office during the transit strike to RFK. 

"By late summer 1964, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, still in shock and consumed with grief over the assassination of his older brother, President John F. Kennedy, was at a crossroad in his life.  The presidential election was approaching and President Lyndon Johnson finally called him to the White House to end months of speculation over whether or not he would be Johnson's Vice Presidential running mate.  The result of that meeting and the subsequent direction of RFK's life are the focus of the play." Tickets are available for purchase in person at The Culture Project Box Office (45 Bleecker at Lafayette).

Geva Theatre Center (Mark Cuddy, Artistic Director) and Five Course Love Company LLC have announced a special discounted $39.50 "walk-up" ticket at the box office during the transit strike to the lip-smacking new musical comedy Five Course Love.  "Five dates.  Five Restaurants.  One chance at love.  Five Course Love is a new musical that is equal parts comedy and music with heaping portions of that elusive search for love thrown in for good measure.  Three actors portray fifteen characters whose amorous combinations are played out in this high-energy screwball comedy using an array of musical styles."  Tickets are available for purchase in person at the Minetta Lane Box Office (18 Minetta Lane between 6th Ave and MacDougal St.).

Primary Stages (Casey Childs, Executive Producer ­ Andrew Leynse, Artistic Director ­ Elliot Fox, Managing Director) in association with the Perry Street Theatre (David Elliott and Martin Platt, Co-Directors), Patrick Blake and Cheryl Wiesenfeld, has announced a special discounted $45 "walk-up" ticket at the box office during the transit strike to In The Continuum.  "Named one of the Top 3 Best Plays by New York Magazine, In The Continuum dramatizes the devastating problem of AIDS among African and African-America women ­ a timely topic and an egregiously overlooked problem that is only now getting the attention of the international media.  Living worlds apart in South Central, L.A. and Harare, Zimbabwe, two young women experience a kaleidoscopic weekend of darkly comic life changing revelations.  With the two playwright/actors playing dozens of roles, In The Continuum envelopes the audience in its story of parallel denials and self discoveries."  Tickets are available for purchase in-person at the Perry Street Theatre Box Office (31 Perry St ­ just west of 7th Avenue).
