I've had a change of plans and can no longer use the ticket I bought for this Saturday's 2pm matinee of The Signature Plays. I paid $25 for the ticket at the box office (no fees) but will sell for $20. I can meet you the morning of the performance to do the exchange. PM me if interested.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I hope you find someone to use the ticket, and that you might have an opportunity to go yourself later. I went last Tuesday night and, though I'm not particularly enamored of the genre, found each play engaging and timely. Of the three, Funnyhouse... is the most visually arresting and most relevant today. Alison Fraser and Crystal Dickinson turn in powerful performances.
(And, as Brantley noted, in The Sandbox, "Phyllis Somerville...looks great in a bathing suit." She's not the only one!)
The ticket is taken. And I've already seen the production (earlier than planned, hence why I'm selling), and I agree that it's an absolute must see.
