Kitchen Theatre Offers Pay What You Can Night at THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT, 4/24
The Kitchen Theatre is offering a limited number of Pay What You Can tickets to Wednesday night's performance of The Motherf**ker with the Hat by Stephen Adly Guirgis.
The concept of Pay What You Can for admission to theater performances began a number of years ago. It was championed by TCG, the national theater organization, which encouraged theaters across the country to designate a specific night when people who cannot afford the usual ticket price pay what they can afford. It has grown to be a part of many theaters' performance schedule. Over the years, the Kitchen Theatre Company has had a variety of programs in place to encourage and support people for whom the regular price of a ticket is a barrier. For example, the Thursday 2pm Matinee Series is sponsored by Tompkins Trust Company, which allows the Kitchen to offer discounted tickets to seniors. This season the Kitchen began a Pay What You Can option on the third Wednesday night performance of each play.
Pay What You Can night for The Motherf**ker with the Hat will be on Wednesday, April 24th. The play closes on Sunday, April 28, and it has been a sell-out. Here's what the critics are saying:
To get a Pay What You Can ticket, show up at the Kitchen Theatre between 7 and 7:15 PM on Wed. April 24, and pay as much or as little as you'd like at the ticket counter.
