Since I'm money strapped, it's about once every six months for me.

Thank god for student rush or I would never see shows.
I saw about 6 shows last semester. All of them were rushed or lottery with the exception of Sweeny Todd. But its Sweeny Todd, so the extra spending was so allowed!

I could not miss Patti Lupone and her tuba- a theatre sin.

As often as I can. So anywhere from 3 to 5 times a week.

Um...I'm in a theatre almost every night of my life- rehearsals. But I see probably 20 productions a year. 4 at school, 6 or 7 in NYC over Spring Break, and about 10 while on breaks at home etc.

Cheers,

C.

I usually see about two shows a month, but I take a trip to NY in the summers and see 11 shows during my stay.

A show once every one to two weeks is good for me, financially and mentally.

I probably go 3-4 times a month out here in LA.

If I lived in NY, it'd be much more active.

Not enough!! A weekend jaunt every 4-6 weeks then we squeeze in 4 or 5 if the timing is right.

Once a week, usually.

But I rarely buy tickets in advance, I'm a rush/lottery kind of girl, it's better for my budget.

Probably once a month which is not as much as I'd like. I've been really busy lately anyway. Damn schoolwork/exams! It also depends on rehearsals, etc.

I'd say on average 3 times a month. But it depends on the NY weather. In September I went to the theater 6 times but in December I went twice.

I live in Arizona.
I try to visit NYC once or twice a year and see as many shows as possible.

In addition, some of the tour groups pass through Phoenix and Tucson so I go then.

I did travel to LA to see the Drowsy Chaperone!

I envy all of you who live in or near NYC.

I'm always rehearsing for something now, so it conflicts with performance schedules.

Last year, I would go 2-4 times a week. This year, maybe once every two weeks.

In terms of New York theater, like twice a month where I fit in as many shows as possible. When it's local, definitely more often.

Since my dad is the type that can't stand spending money and hoards coupons, and it's hell getting into the city from my town (though it's 45 min. away in central Jersey), we go maybe once every couple of months, unless I can find a good discount. I'm seeing Sweeney in February, Rent in March, and probably Wicked in May or June. The only reason - Sweeney is in place of a 4-day vacation, I found $60 tickets for Rent, and Wicked will be for my birthday.

The problem is my family. My brother's up at college and never wants to come home, my mom isn't exactly passionate about theater, and my dad, while he loves Broadway, works weekends all the time, so we rarely go. My parents are thinking about letting me go see shows with friends when I'm a little bit older, picking us up in the theater afterwards, but until then, I won't be able to go much. re: How Often Do You Go To The Theater?

I'm lucky if I can go once a month--sometimes twice. I wish I could go at least once a week... someday....

Because I'm in U of Illinois Theatre Department, I usually I see 2-3 shows a month. That number goes up when I travel home to Chicago for weekends or vacation out to New York over the summer and Spring breaks.

wow..you are all so lucky that you get to go that often. Although I live in New York I'm only 14 (will be 15 in eleven days), and my parents don't take me as often as I'd like to go. Last time I saw a show was back in October, but I'm seeing another one on my birthday. I've seen about 8 shows this year.
