Know Theatre's Welcome Experiment to Return with HUNDRED DAYS

By:

Know Theatre has announced the return of The Welcome Experiment with this Wednesday's FREE performance of Hundred Days.

The Welcome Experiment provides FREE performances on Wednesdays throughout the run of all MainStage productions. Know Theatre piloted The Welcome Experiment in 2014 to make sure anyone who wants to see a show can do so-be they neighbors facing economic hardship, fellow artists, students struggling to make ends meet, or people who simply don't regularly attend live theatre (but might, if it were offered at a lower cost).

Our first Welcome Experiment performance of Season 18 is the Wednesday, July 29 performance of The Bengsons' Hundred Days at 8 PM. This fierce, triumphant folk-rock odyssey tells the story of a young couple who fall in love, only to have their time together cut short by a fatal illness. With the brash intensity of youth, they decide to try and live the 100 days they have left together as though it were the 60 years they had imagined they would have.

Hundred Days is a Z Space and piece by piece production directed by 2-time Obie Award Winner Anne Kauffman and features local dancers from Exhale Dance Tribe choreographed by Emmy nominated Sonya Tayeh (So You Think You Can Dance), alongside a cast of rockstar performers led by show creators, Shaun and Abigail Bengson.

Patrons can reserve free Welcome Experiment tickets via the knowtheatre.com website (just look for the performances marked Welcome Experiment), or they can come to the Know Theatre Box Office after 7 PM on the night of each Welcome Experiment performance to claim their free seat.

Please note: Pre-reserved tickets that are not picked up by 10 minutes before showtime are subject to redistribution in the case of a sold-out show.
